PLAYED IN KEY OF D
WHEN MY LAST SONG IS SUNG
WRITTEN AND SUNG BY MERLE HAGGARD
WHEN MY LAST SONG IS SUNG,
AND MY LIFES WORK IS DONE,
AND MY OLD FAITHFUL GUITAR LOSES TONE,
YOU WON`T FIND ME TROUBLED THEN,
WISHING I COULD SING AGAIN,
WHEN MY LAST SONG IS SUNG I`LL BE GONE.
WHAT A GIFT THE LORD HAS SHARED,
WITH A MAN WHO NEVER CARED,
CLAIMING EVERY NOTE I`D WRITTEN AS MY OWN,
SO BEFORE IT COMES MY TIME ,
THERE`S A SONG OF THANKS IN LINE,
BEFORE MY LORD AND SAVIOR CALLS ME HOME.
LET ME SING A SONG FOR JESUS EVERYDAY,
FOR HE`S THE ONE WHO GUIDES ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY,
HE`S MY SOUL INSPIRATION,AND THE ONE WHO GUIDES MY PEN,
SO LET THE LAST SONG I SING BE FOR HIM.
