When you can hear that final word Will you be sure of what you heard? Oh, can you say where you'll be bound Will you go up or will you go down? Oh, when that day has finally come Oh, when your race is finally run Oh, will you rest down in the ground? Will you go up or will you go down? When you take your last breath of air And you listen to your final prayer Oh, will it be a lonesome sound? Will you go up or will you go down? Oh, will it be a lonesome sound? Will you go up or will you go down?
