Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the Red River Valley
And the one who has loved you so true
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
There's a land that is fairer than day
And by faith we can see it afar
But the Father await's over there
To prepare us a dwelling place there
(Everybody c'mon, sing with us now)
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
(One more time, c'mon now)
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore, yeah
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
(C'mon girl, take it home honey
Take it home)
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
