my true love said goodbye
my true love said goodbye
said she'd stay with me forever
then she left me here to cry
my true love said goodbye
my true love said goodbye
and there was nothin left to do but die
but now i think i see the light
i think i see the light
through the crack in my coffin i think i see the light
i think i see the light
i think i see the light
and my soul is gon' to be alright
because i think i see the light
i think i see the light
through a crack in my coffin i think i see the light
i think i see the light
i think i see the light
and my soul is goin' ta be alright
i was already packed and al ready to go
when the reaper came a callin
i was prayin to the lord please come and save my soul
while my body was a thawin
my body is deceased
my body is deceased
my body is deceased
and the worms they gonna feast
my body is deceased
my body is deceased
my body is deceased
but i think i finally see the light
oh yeah

i think i see the light
through the crack in my coffin i think i see the light
i think i see the light
i think i see the light
and my soul is gon' to be alright
yeah i was already packed and all ready to go
when the reaper came a callin
i prayed to the lord wont you come and save my soul
while my body was a thawin
they put me in the ground
they put me in the ground
the preacher said a prayer
they were lowerin me down
they put me in the ground
they put me in the ground
but i think i finally see the light
but now i think i see the light
i think i see the light
through the crack in my coffin i think i see the light
i think i see the light

and my soul is gon' to be alright

and my soul is gon' to be alright
