In My Time of Dying (Earl's Court, May 25, 1975) Songtext
von Led Zeppelin

In my time of dying
Want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do
Is take my body home

Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well, so I can die easy

Jesus gotta make up, sure know
Jesus gotta make up
Jesus gonna make up my dyin′ bed

Meet me, Jesus, meet me
Ooh, meet me in the middle of the air
If my wings should fail me, Lord
Oh, please meet me with another pair

Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Oh-oh, well, well, well, so I can die easy

Jesus gotta make up, somebody, somebody
Oh, oh, Jesus gotta make up
Jesus gonna make it my dyin' bed


Oh, Saint Peter, at the gates of heaven
Won′t you let me in?
I never did no harm
I never did no wrong

Oh, oh, Gabriel, oh, let me blow your horn
Let me blow your horn
Oh, I never did no harm
Did no wrong

I've only been young once
I never thought I'd do anybody no wrong
No, not once, oh

Oh, good!

Oh, I did somebody so good
Somebody some good, yeah, I saw

Oh, did somebody some good, yeah
I musta did somebody some good, yeah
Oh, I believe I did

I see the smiling faces, yeah
I know there must be lipstick traces, oh


And I see them in the streets
And I see them in the fields, yeah
And I hear them under my feet
And I know it′s got to be real
Oh, Lord, deliver me
All the wrong I′ve done
Oh, you can deliver me, Lord, yeah
I only wanted to have some fun

Oh, hear, the angels marching, marching
They been marching, keep it marching, yeah, marching

Oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus
Oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus
Oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus
Oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus
Oh, my Je, ah-oh, ah, my Je
Hey, yeah, that's got to be my Jesus
Whoa-whoa!

It′s got to be, it's got to be my Jesus
It′s got to be, oh
It's got to be my Jesus
Oh, oh, take me home

Come on, come on
I can hear the angels singing
Oh, here they come, here they come, here they come

Bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Oh, feels pretty good up here, pretty good up here

I′ll touch Jesus, I'll touch Jesus, I'll touch Jesus
I′ll touch Jesus, I′ll touch Jesus
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Oh, I see him

Come and have a listen, then
Oh, yes, thank you
