Gonna meet my maker, gonna shake his hand

Gonna meet my maker, gonna shade his hand

Gonna meet my maker, I'm at the undertaker

Gonna meet my maker, in the promised land

You see I had a fever, then he called my name

Boy I had a fever, the savior called my name

Yeah I had a fever, and then I heard my savior

Gonna meet my maker, in the promised land

The devil tried to get me, tried with all his might

The devil tried to burn me, but that match

wouldn't light

The devil tried to trick me, when I was down he

kicked me

But the lord was with me, and I won that fight

Gonna meet my maker at the pearly gates

Gonna meet my maker at the pearly gates

My war is over, Satan is the loser

Gonna meet my maker, gonna shake his hand

Gonna meet my maker in the promised land

Gonna meet my maker in the promised land.
