When Jesus Comes Calling For Me — текст песни (Dolly Parton)

When I was a child I recall and old man; everybody loved old Zeke
He was all alone, his family was gone; one day he said to me
I`m just sittin` here thinkin` about Jesus, rockin` as my old chair creaks
Some glad day I`ll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
It might be today, it might be tomorrow, maybe one day next week
I`ll soon be done with trouble and sorrow when He comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me
When I die don`t grieve and cry
Lordy, don`t feel sorry for me
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

I might be in the graveyard walking talking to my family
Or I might be plowing in the field down yonder, just old Muley and me
Wherever I am, whatever I`m a doing, some sweet day I`ll see
And band of angels in a cloud of glory when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

When I die just close my eyes
And lay me `neath the willow tree
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

I`m just sittin` here watchin` for Jesus, rockin` as my old chair creaks
Some sweet day I`ll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me
