Hank Williams - The Great Judgement Morning Writer ? Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • (g) I dreamed that the great judgement (c) morning,
  • Had (g) dawned, and the trumpet had (d7) blown,
  • I (g) dreamed that all nations had (c) gathered,
  • To (g) judgement be- (d7) fore the white (g) throne.
  • From the throne came a bright shining (c) angel,
  • And he (g) stood on the land and the (d7) sea,
  • And (g) swore with his hand raised to (c) heaven,
  • That (g) time was no (d7) longer to (g) be.
  • Chorus
  • And oh what weeping and (c) wailing,
  • As the (g) lost were told of their (d7) fate,
  • They (g) cried for the rocks and the (c) mountains,
  • They (g) prayed, but their (d7) prayers were too (g) late.
  • The rich man was there but his money,
  • Had melted and vanished away,
  • A pauper stood there in the judgement,
  • His debts were too many to pay.
  • The great man was there, but his greatness,
  • When death came, was left far behind,
  • The angel that opened the records,
  • No trace of his greatness could find.
  • Repeat chorus
  • The widow was there and the orphan,
  • God heard and remembered their cries,
  • No sorrow in heaven forever,
  • God wiped all the tears from their eyes.
  • The gambler was there and the drunkard,
  • And they who had sold them the drink,
  • With people who gave them the license,
  • Together in hell they did sink.
  • Repeat chorus
  • The mortal man to the judgement,
  • But self rightousness would not do,
  • For the men who had crucified jesus,
  • Had passed off as mortal men too.
  • And the souls that had put off salvation,
  • Not tonight Ill get saved by and by,
  • No time now to think of religion,
  • At last they had found time to die.
  • Repeat chorus
