Montgomery

When the bell rang out in the far-off field

Well, I wondered, "Who's that for?"

I heard old Montgomery couldn't hang on anymore

He was sick for months and getting worse

There was something was in his bones

He will leave his children here and a loving wife alone

Well, I hope one day when it rings for me

At my funeral they're blue

And by my side, they speak these words

"He was kind," and that's the truth

Yeah, I hope I'm not forgotten quick

If the angels come for me

It would feel so glorious to at last be truly free

Well, they say Heaven has pearly gates

And they say not all get in

Something about that Jesus Christ not wanting us to sin

Well, tell me now just how do we get by each day without?

I've sinned, I've lied

I'm full of pride, so I have my share of doubts

Well, I hope one day when it rings for me

At my funeral they're blue

And by my side, they speak these words

"He was kind" and that's the truth

Yeah, I hope I'm not forgotten quick

If the Devil comes for me

Nothing will be as glorious as the life that I will leave

If you were to ask me my belief

Well, the Kingdom is right here

Heaven and Hell and peace as well

So I have nothing to fear

So I hope I'm not forgotten quick

When no one comes for me

Nothing will be as glorious

Nothing can be as glorious

Nothing awaits as glorious as the life that I will leave
