When my time to go is here
Call my friends to gather near
Tell the doctor and the preacher that I'm failing
But don’t wallow in your grief
When they put me down beneath
Just sing to me this melody I’m wailing
It goes pick me up and lay me down
And spread the news all over town
Tell them all to come or they'll be sorry
Pick me up and shake me twice
I'm passing on to paradise
This poor boy is going to live in glory
When it's time to say goodbye
All my friends will wail and cry
As they'll watch the coffin rockin' round and squirmin'
Then they'll raise a mighty shout
When my bones come marching out
And I praise myself and preach the final sermon
It goes pick me up and lay me down
And spread the news all over town
Tell them them all to come or they'll be sorry
Pick me up and shake me twice
I'm passing on to paradise
This poor boy is going to live in glory
When the Earth begins to quake
From the shaking at my wake
I'll be here and making music like I’m livin’
And the sorrow and that grief
Will give the angels sweet relief
Then you’ll know that all my sins have been forgiven
They’ll sing pick me up and lay me down
And spread the news all over town
Tell them all to come or they'll be sorry
Pick me up and shake me twice
I'm passing on to paradise
This poor boy is going to live in glory
Pick me up and lay me down
And spread the news all over town
Tell them all to come or they'll be sorry
Pick me up and shake me twice
I'm passing on paradise
This poor boy is going to live in glory
