Blind Willie McTell - We Got to Meet Death One Day Lyrics

And we're going to meet old death one day
And we're going to meet old death one day
we're going to judgement after a while
we got to greet death with a smile
Oh we got to meet old death one day

While mother said to her daughter
Daughter you prepare
You got to find the gold or glory
Try to meet him there
Well I heard her daughter say
I'm gonna meet in that day
But I've got to meet my death one day
I got to meet my death one day
I'm going to judgement after a while
I got to greet death with a smile
Cos I got to meet my death one day

While father said to his mother
Mother you prepare
You got to find the gold or the glory
And you try to meet him there
Well I heard his mother say
Think I'll meet him in the day
Cos I got to meet my death one day
I got to meet my death one day
I'm going to judgement after a while
I got to greet death with a smile
Cos I got to meet my death one day

Oh deacon you get ready
To meet your god on high
They'll be riding
He will not pass you by
Well he's riding at every door
Well you are ready and low
You got to meet your death one day
Yes you got to meet your death one day
You're going to judgement after a while
You got to greet death with a smile
Cos you got to meet your death one day
Yes you got to meet your death one day
And you got to meet your death one day
You're going to judgement after a while
You got to greet death with a smile
Cos you got to meet your death one day
