Well, in my time of dyin'
Don't want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is
Hold my dying bones,
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy,
Well, well well,
So I can die easy.
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy.
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.
Well, in my time of dyin'
Don't want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is
Take my body home,
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy,
Well, well well,
So I can die easy.
Well, well well,
So I can die easy.
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.
Well, meet me, Jesus, meet me,
Meet me in the middle of the air.
And if these wings should fail me, Lord,
Meet me with another pair,
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy,
Well, well well,
So I can die easy.
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy.
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.
Well, in my time of dyin'
Dress me up nice and neat
And put me on some hard town shoes
Just in case, the devil I meet
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy,
Well, well well,
So I can die easy,
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy.
Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.
