The songwriter penned, " Just a little while to stay here, Just a little while to wait. Just a little while to labour in the path that's always straight. Its just a little more of trouble in the old sinful stay, Then we'll enter heaven's portals, Sweeping through the pearly gates.
It is with deep sorrow and a heavy heart that the Simon Family convey to all that their beloved -
Revered Willie C. Simon Sr. of Valdosta Georgia whispered, I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside. Down by the riverside, down by the riverside. I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside - I'm gonna study war no more.
