In My Time Of Dying Lyrics

In My Time Of Dying

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."
