about

We first heard this traditional tune done by the Stevens Sisters in a bluesy vein. We understand there's also a Led Zeppelin version, but our instruments don't plug into anything.

"But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, 'Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?'

"The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

(1 Corinthians 15:54-57)

lyrics

Well, in my time of dyin', don't want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is hold my dyin' bones.

Well, a-well, a-well, so I can die easy
Well, a-well, a-well, so I can die easy
Well, a-well, a-well, so I can die easy
Jesus goin' to make up my dyin' 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, meet me, Jesus, meet me, meet me in the middle of the air,
And if my wings should fail me, Lord, meet with another pair.

Well, in my time of dyin', dress me up nice and neat,
And put me on some hard-toed shoes, just in case the devil I meet.
