Thread Name: Lyr Req: In My Time of Dyin'
Subject: In My Time of Dyin'
I originally learned this song from Bob Dylan's first album. Certainly it's an old blues/gospel number. Maybe it's Rev. Gary Davis?

Verses I know:

In my time of dyin',
Don't want nobody to moan.
All I want for you to do is,
Take my body home.

CHO:
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy.
Well, well, well.
(musical phrase)
Well, well, well.
So I can die easy.
Jesus gonna make out,
Jesus gonna make out,
Jesus gonna make out,
My dyin' bed.

Meet me Jesus meet me.
Meet me in the middle of the air.
If these wings should fail me, Lord,
Won't you meet me with another pair.

Any more verses?
