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.
