Was thinkin' of playin' Swing Low, Sweet Chariot - but it din't jus' seem right.

Instead, came up with sump'n of mah own.

[The tuning of a guitar, plucking of strings, before settling into a slow Blues tone, Billy's voice going deep and soulful]

We're face to face with th' face of life here
An' lord knows, we cry out when Death is near
But confide in me -
Hold tight an' share yer fear
Now fear ain't so strong, so long, as y'got somebody
Who's around t'keep holdin' onnnn...

Oh lord,
Oh lord, lord, lord
Ah know Ah see you goin' 'round th' bennnnnd...
Oh lord,
Oh lord, lord, lord
Please show me now that this is not th' ennnnnnnd....
An' oh lord,
Oh lord, lord, lord
Ah c'n see you comin' back, on th' mennnnnnnd....

An' trust in me, mah family
That this is not th' end, no, no, no,
this is not the end.

It's not death, so much as bein' lonely, caught in th' stormmmmm
It's not death, so much as missin' ya, can't stay warmmmmm
But y'grip tight
An' ah jus' smile
An' it'll be alright
We jus' need t'wait awhile

Cuz y'know it ain't right when 's jus' one of us-

Oh lord,
Oh lord, lord, lord
Ah know Ah see you goin' 'round th' bennnnnd...
Oh lord,
Oh lord, lord, lord
Please show me now that this is not th' ennnnnnnd....
An' oh lord,
Oh lord, lord, lord
Ah c'n see you comin' back, on th' mennnnnnnd....

An' trust in me, mah family
That this is not th' end, no, no, no,
this is not the end.

God bless alla ya.
