In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is take my body home
Well, well, well, so I can die easy (X2)
Jesus, gonna make up my dyin` bed.
Meet me, Jesus, meet me. Meet me in the middle of the air
If my wings should fail me, Lord. Please meet me with another pair
Well, well, well, so I can die easy (X2)
Jesus, gonna make up.. somebody, somebody...
Jesus gonna make up... Jesus gonna make you my dyin` bed
Oh, Saint Peter, at the gates of heaven... Won`t you let me in
I never did no harm. I never did no wrong
Oh, Gabriel, let me blow your horn. Let me blow your horn
Oh, I never did, did no harm.
I`ve only been this young once. I never thought I`d do anybody no wrong
No, not once.
Oh, I did somebody some good. Somebody some good...
Oh, did somebody some good. I must have did somebody some good...
And I see them in the streets
And I see them in the field
And I hear them shouting under my feet
And I know it`s got to be real
Oh, Lord, deliver me
All the wrong I`ve done
You can deliver me, Lord
I only wanted to have some fun.
Hear the angels marchin`, hear the` marchin`, hear them marchin`,
hear them marchin`, the` marchin`
Oh my Jesus... (repeat)
Oh, don`t you make it my dyin`, dyin`, dyin`...
(Studio Chatter: That`s gonna be the one, isn`t it?
Come have a listen, then.
Oh yes, thank you.)
