John done saw dat numbuh,
'Way in de middle of de air;
Don't-chu wanta jine dat numbuh,
'Way in de middle of de air?
On de right I saw a sight,
'Way in de middle of de air;
A band of Angels dressed in white,
'Way in de middle of de air.

Havin' great tribulations,
'Way in de middle of de air;
Havin' their harps in their han's,
'Way in de middle of de air.

Singin' a new song before the throne,
'Way in de middle of de air;
That Angels in Heabum could not sing,
'Way in de middle of de air.

John done saw dat numbuh,
'Way in de middle of de air;
Comin' up from hard triyuls,
'Way in de middle of de air.
On de left I saw no rest,
'Way in de middle of de air.
I'm gonna talk 'bout God myself,
'Way in de middle of de air.
This song is from the album "The Negro Sings: A New Heaven".
