I Ain't Afraid To Die

On the day my Mama died,
She called us all to gather by her side.
Shook her finger at my Dad,
Said, "It's time to let me ride."
"I ain't afraid to die."

(Chorus)
I ain't afraid to die
I know I've got a home up in the sky
When the Reaper walks in I'll grin and look him in the eye
I ain't afraid to die

Sometimes I wake, in dark of night
I forget there's no reason for my fright
Then I'm on my knees to pray
'til once again I see the light
Then I know that everything will be alright

(Chorus)

We've only a short time here below
The day and hour, we cannot know
Keep my loose ends in a knot
My ducklings in a row
Try not to leave to big a mess
When I go

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

No I ain't afraid
I ain't afraid
I ain't afraid. . . . .
To die
