The Angel of Death

Paul, my student president at TBS for the past two years, is always talking about this old country twanger Hank Williams Sr. It just so happened that I got a duo-gold album of Hank from my friend Dano for Christmas. I've since listened to Hank's duo-gold about 7x.  Hank is twangy and old-school but he's got some heart-tuggers. The original white man blues. One of his best on the duo-gold album I'd say is his The Angel of Death. Here's Hank:

In the great book of John you're warned of the day
When you'll be laid beneath the cold clay
The angel of death will come from the sky
And claim your poor soul when the time comes to die

When the angel of death comes down after you
Can you smile and say that you have been true
Can you truthfully say with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet the angel of death

When the lights all grow dim and the dark shadows creep
And then your loved ones are gathered to weep
Can you face them and say with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet the angel of death

When the angel of death comes down after you
Can you smile and say that you have been true
Can you truthfully say with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet the angel of death
