Classic Rock Lyrics

In My Time Of Dying Lyrics - Led Zeppelin



In my time of dyin', want nobody to moan
All I want them to do is take my body home

*Well, well, well, so I can die easy
 Well, well, well, so I can die easy

Jesus, got to make you, shiver
Jesus, gonna make you
Jesus, gonna make you my dyin' bed

Meet me, Jesus, meet me
Ooh, meet me in the middle of the air
If my wings should fail me. lord
Oh, please meet me with another pair

(* Repeat)

Jesus, gonna make you, somebody, somebody
Oh, Jesus, gonna make you
Jesus gonna make you my dyin' bed

Oh, Saint Peter, I can make amends
Won't you let me in
I never did no wrong, I never did no wrong
Oh, oh Gabriel, let me blow your horn
Let me blow your horn
I never did no wrong, did no wrong
I only can be young once
I never thought I'd do anybody no wrong
No not once

Oh, I did somebody so good
Somebody some good, yeah
Oh, did somebody some good, yeah
I must have did somebody some good, yeah
Oh, I believe I did, I seen the smilin' faces
I know I must have left some traces

And I seen them in the streets
And I seen them in the theater
And I even felt my feet
And I never tried to be real
Oh, lord, deliver me all the wrongs I've done
Oh, you can deliver me, lord
I only wanted to have some fun

Oh, keep the angels marchin', marchin'
Keep them marchin', keep them marchin', marchin'
Oh, my Jesus (Repeat)
That's got to be my Jesus
It's got to be, it's got to be my Jesus
It's got to be, oh it's got to be my Jesus
Oh, gonna take me home
Come on, come on
I can hear the angels singin', oh
Here they come, here they come, here they come
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Oh, it's pretty good up here, pretty good up here
I'll touch Jesus (Repeat)
Oh, oh yeah, I seen him, yeah, come on
Oh, don't you make it my dyin', dyin', dyin', cough

(That's gonna be a long ending.  Come have a listen then.)
(Oh yes, thank you.)

Based on a song of the same name from Bob Dylan's first album.
The ending was not written when they started recording. They jammed at the end and improvised an ending.
Drummer John Bonham can be heard at the end saying, "That's gotta be the one."
Runs 11:08. Excluding their live cuts, it is the longest Zeppelin song.
Robert Plant got in a serious car accident in 1975. He felt he was tempting fate by singing this, so he never performed it again.
This was one of the few live songs where Jimmy Page switched to his black and white Danelectro guitar. He also used this guitar for "White Summer."
