This old world’s no place for livin’.

Not enough care and not enough givin’.

Sometimes clouds of sin

and sorrow hide the way.

But this old life with stormy weather

ain’t gonna be my home forever.

Gonna be movin’ one of these days.

Well, I’m gonna be movin’ (gonna be movin’)

movin’ away (movin’ away).

Gonna be movin’ (gonna be movin’)

one of these days (one of these days).

 

When I leave this life behind me troubles

and cares are never gonna find me.

Gonna be movin’ one of these days.

There won’t be any time for cryin’,

no more sickness, toil, or dyin’;

joy awaits me in that mansion far away.

When I rest from all my labor

the Lord’s gonna be my next door neighbor.

I’m gonna be movin’ one of these days.

Well, I’m gonna be movin’ (gonna be movin’)

movin’ away (movin’ away).

Gonna be movin’ (gonna be movin’)

one of these days (one of these days).

 

When I leave this life behind me

troubles and cares are never gonna find me.

Gonna be movin’ one of these days.

Well, I’m gonna be movin’ (gonna be movin’)

movin’ away (movin’ away).

Gonna be movin’ (gonna be movin’)

one of these days (one of these days).

 

When I leave this life behind me troubles

and cares are never gonna find me.

Gonna be movin’ one of these days.

Well, I’m gonna be movin’ (gonna be movin’)

movin’ away (movin’ away).

Gonna be movin’ (gonna be movin’)

one of these days (one of these days).

 

When I leave this life behind me troubles

and cares are never gonna find me.

Gonna be movin’ one of these days.

I’m gonna be movin’ one of these days.
