Darling's song has a very long guitar intro. He was also part of The Weavers at the time and released his song on the group album shortly after his solo release.
Who's gonna make up my dyin' bed when I die? (x2)
Who's gonna make up my dyin' bed? (x2)
Who's gonna make up my dyin' bed when I die?
Who's gonna take my soul to Heaven when I die? (x2)
Who's gonna take my soul to Heaven?
Who's gonna make up my dyin' bed?
Who's gonna take my soul to Heaven when I die?
Oh, when I get that true religion, Halleluj' (x2)
Oh, when I get that true religion
True religion will carry through
Oh, when I get that true religion, Halleluj' (x2) - Published by
