When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels by Hank Williams
Key:GG| Capo:0fr|
G7C
The ceremony was over,
DGA lad stood alone in tears.
G7C
For he had just said goodbye,
DG
To the one he had loved through the years.
G7C
He stood all alone with his head bowed down,
DG
As though his heart would break.
G7C
Then the Parson came over and took his hand,
DG
And to him these words he did say:
G7C
When God comes and gathers his jewels,
DG
All his treasures of diamonds and gold.
G7C
You'll meet her up there up in heaven so fair,
DG
When God comes and gathers his jewels.

Each night when the pale moon is shining,
DG
You can see this lad all alone.
G7C
With his eyes lifted toward heaven,
DG
He's repeating these words he was told.
G7C
When God comes and gathers his jewels,
DG
All his treasures of diamonds and gold.
G7C
I'll meet you up there up in heaven so fair,
DG
When God comes and gathers his jewels.
G7C
When God comes and gathers his jewels,
DG
All his treasures of diamonds and gold.
G7C
I'll meet you up there up in heaven so fair,

When God comes and gathers his jewels.
