Gideon Tanner lyrics

[Gospel hymn]

(...rock, he's gonna meet the man by and by)

(He's goin' home to the rock)

(He's goin' home to the rock)

(He's gonna meet the man by and by)

(He's goin' home to the rock)

(He's goin' home to the rock)

(He's gonna meet the man by and by)

Now just look, the whole town has turned out today

To say a last prayer for me

And Lord only knows how surprised they would be

If they knew I could see them and I could hear what they say

Whoah, if they knew I could see them 

And I could hear what they say

[Chorus]

Some say I was a good man

Some disagree

Some folks are sad

Some are glad to see the last of me

I know I was happy man most of my days

And through it all, if I had a time or two,

It was worth it to me

I'm the last of my family

So I'm takin' my name

No children do I leave behind

To sing Rock Of Ages

For an old, worn-out cowboy

You can take away my body,

But the spirit is mine

Whoah, you can take away my body, yeah

But the spirit is mine

[Chorus]

Some say I was a good man

Some disagree
