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 
Well, well, well, so I can die easy 

Jesus, gonna make up, sure enough 
Jesus, gonna make up 
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 
Well, well, well, so I can die easy 

Jesus, gonna make up.. somebody, somebody... oh, oh 
Jesus gonna make up... Jesus gonna make it 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... 

I see their smiling faces 

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... 
Oh my Jesus… 
It’s got to be my Jesus, 
Oh take me home 

Oh, don't you make it my dyin', dyin', dyin'... 
It’s got to be my Jesus 
And I hear the angels singin’ 
Here they come! Here they come! 

Bye-bye, bye-bye 

Won’t ya, Jesus?
