Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr.
In the E great book of John - you're A warned of the E day
When you'll be laid - beneath the cold B7 clay
The E Angel of Death - will A come from the E sky
And claim your poor soul - when the B7 time comes to E die.
CHORUS
When The Angel of Death - comes A down after E you
Can you smile and say - that you have been B7 true
Can you E truthfully say - with A your dying E breath
That you're ready to meet - the B7 Angel of E death.
When the E lights all grow dim - and the A dark shadows E creep
And then your loved ones - are gathered to B7 weep
Can you E face them and say - with A your dying E breath
That you're ready to meet - the B7 Angel of E Death.
CHORUS
