Lightnin' Hopkins - Death Bells Lyrics
Sound like I'm hearing moaning, death bell ringing all in my headSound like I can hear moaning, death bell ringing all in my headYeah I know that I was gonna leave on a chariot but I didn't knowWhat kind of chariot gonna take me away from hereI want you to remember every living people, every living people bound to dieI want you to remember every living people, every living people bound to dieYeah you know when that chariot come at you, they'll break running, try to hideYou all know my mama told me, you know my papa told me tooYou know my mama told me, oh papa told me tooHe said you know one day son, that chariot, oh Lord, coming after youYeah you know the life I'm living, I've been living it for a many yearYou know the life I'm living, I've been living it for a many yearI know the chariot was coming for me but I didn't knowWhat kind of chariot gonna take me away from here
