Gillian Welch - Rock of Ages lyrics

Round, round, I wanna go round

Wanna see the rock of ages

When my body gives out

Gonna read the final pages.

Oh, my mother who's gone

She told me I should meet her

Someday streets of gold

Gonna guide me on to greet her.

Once my father sat down

And told me of the prophets

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John

They're gone but not forgotten.

Round, round, I wanna go round

Wanna see the rock of ages

'Til my body gives out

Gonna read the gospel pages.

Moses heard a voice

It called him up the mountain

Forty days had set

When Moses come a shoutin'.

Round, round, I wanna go round

Wanna see the rock of ages

When my body gives out

Gonna read the final pages.

Round, round, I wanna go round

Wanna see the rock of ages

'Til my body gives out

Gonna read the gospel pages.

Round, round, I wanna go round

Wanna see the rock of ages

When my body gives out

Gonna read the final pages...
