| if it’s my time to die today
|
| please God oh make it fast
|
| balanced on this point for a year and half
|
| I just don’t think I can last
|
| there’s a man who’s laid to rest
|
| the man who gave me my start
|
| I wish I could quit but I can’t and it’s rough
|
| quick is the beat of my heart
|
| quick is the beat of my heart
|
| so please all you people
|
| don’t you grieve for me the blood in my veins is black and I can’t bleed
|
| I’ve suffered the pain
|
| and all I can face is the dark
|
| oh, Lord, quick is the beat of my heart
|
| quick is the beat of my heart
|
| now my bags are almost packed
|
| the train’s about to depart
|
| I wish I could quit but I can’t and it’s rough
|
| quick is the beat of my heart
|
| quick is the beat of my heart
|
| quick is the beat of my heart
|
| quick is the beat of my heart
|
| quick is the beat of my heart
|
| quick is the beat of my heart
|
| if it’s my time to die… |
