Hank Williams — The Angel of Death lyrics

Lyrics

Capo: 2nd fret key: e play: d In the great book of john — you're warned of the day
When you'll be laid — beneath the cold clay
The angel of death — will come from the sky
And claim your poor soul — when the time comes to die.
When the angel of death — comes down after you
Can you smile and say — that you have been true
Can you truthfully say — with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet — the angel of death.
When the lights all grow dim — and the dark shadows creep
And then your loved ones — are gathered to weep
Can you face them and say — with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet — the angel of death.
