WHEN GOD COMES AND GATHERS HIS JEWELS
Written and recorded by Hank Williams Sr.
The [G] ceremony was [C] over
A [D7] lad stood alone in [G] tears
For he had just [C] said goodbye
To the [D7] one he had loved thru the [G] years.
He stood all alone with his head bowed down
As though his heart would break
Then the Parson came over and took his hand
And to him these words he did say.
CHORUS
When [G] God comes and gathers his [C] jewels
All his [D7] treasures of diamonds and [G] gold
You'll meet her up there in [C] heaven so fair
When [D7] God comes and gathers his [G] jewels.
(Substitute I'll meet her.....on last chorus)
Each night when the pale moon is shining
You can see this lad all alone
With his eyes lifted to'ard heaven
He's repeating these words he was told.
CUANDO DIOS VIENE Y RECOGE SUS JOYAS
Escrita y grabada por Hank Williams Sr.
La ceremonia había terminado
Un joven estaba solo llorando
Porque acababa de despedirse
De aquella a quien había amado a lo largo de los años.
Él estaba completamente solo con la cabeza gacha
Como si su corazón fuera a romperse
Entonces el Pastor se acercó y tomó su mano
Y estas palabras le dijo.
CORO
Cuando Dios viene y recoge sus joyas
Todos sus tesoros de diamantes y oro
La encontrarás allá arriba en el cielo tan hermoso
Cuando Dios viene y recoge sus joyas.
(Sustituiré 'La encontraré...' en el último coro)
Cada noche cuando la pálida luna brilla
Puedes ver a este joven completamente solo
Con los ojos levantados hacia el cielo
Repetía estas palabras que le dijeron.
