dying gambler (6763) lyrics
in progress + against better terminator 2: judgment day

now i’m [gonna/going to] sing a song tonight, and whiles i sing, i want every sinner in the building, [to] come to the [angel’s?] seat and bow, and accept [christ/prayer]. the origin of this song begins [when/with] a dying gambler who was on his bed dying. men, you ought to stop gambling. men, if i were you, i would [said?] tonight, live or die, sink or swim, i’m going to jesus as i am. men, you ought to stop gambling. whiles i sing, i want every, every soul in this building tonight, lift up your voice and sing. did you hear this gambler in your mind, as he lay on his dying bed, said:

“lord have mercy
lord have mercy
lord have mercy
save me, lord”

oh yеs, ah, can’t you see, in your mind [dyin’/now]
when his mother standin’ over his bеd
sisters and brothers standin’ around his dying bed
can’t you see, ah, when he turned his head and cried:

“i am a+dyin’
i am a+dyin’
i am a+dyin’
save me, lord”
’bout that time when the death rattle [?] in his throat
and his fingernails [were] turned purple and blue
and [the devil/a+death] was cuttin’ loose [?] that makes a true connection with the soul and body
you could hear this gamblin’ man cry:

“lord have mercy
lord have mercy
lord have mercy, have mercy lord
save me, lord”
