I’m just sharing this because this song is really touching to me as a Christian. I don’t know why, but it just is. And it’s a nice sentiment by Gordon Lightfoot as a now wealthy man. I wish it were better a quality.

Rich Man’s Spiritual

Gonna but me a long white robe, yes Lord, to help me home.
I’m gonna buy me a long white robe, yes, Lord, to get me home.
And when I get my heavenly gown and I lay my burden down,
I’m gonna get me a long white robe to get me home.

I’m gonna buy me two golden slippers, yes, Lord, to walk me home.
I’m gonna buy me two golden slippers, yes, Lord, to walk me home.
And when I get my slippers of gold, then the Lord will have my soul.
I’m gonna get me two golden slippers to get me home.

I’m gonna buy me two wings of silver, yes, Lord, to fly me home.
I’m gonna buy me two wings of silver, yes, Lord, to fly me home.
And when I get my silvery wings, then an angel choir will sing.
I’m gonna get me two wings of silver to get me home.

I’m gonna buy me a poor man’s trouble, yes, Lord, to help me home.
I’m gonna buy me a poor man’s trouble, yes, Lord, to help me home.
And when I get my trouble and woe, then homeward I will go.
I’m gonna get a little trouble and woe to get me home.

I’m gonna find me a smiling angel, yes, Lord, to lead me home.
I’m gonna find me a smiling angel, yes, Lord, to lead me home.
And when he takes me by the hand, I know the Lord will understand.
I’m gonna get me a smiling angel to lead me home.
I’m gonna get me a smiling angel to lead me home.

Boss Man Boss Man what do ya say
I gotta get you alone in the mine some day
Boss Man Boss Man turn it around
If you don’t look away how can I sit down
Look at this load upon my back
Gotta get this wheel back on the track
I can’t hold on but I can’t let go
And I can’t say yes I can’t say ‘no’ …..

Boss Man, Boss Man what do ya say
If you can’t lend a hand then get outta my way
It’ll be murder in the first degree
If you ever lay your hands on me

Boss Man Boss Man pay my rent
A dollar I’ve earned is a dollar I’ve spent
The company plan takes all my check
For breakin’ my back and riskin’ my neck

Lyrics in no particular order. Just my favorite stanzas.

Gordon Lightfoot- Cotton Jenny

wish I could find a not live version. :P
