[Verse 1: Dallas Green]
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Oh, they speak him near
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Oh, they speak him near

[Verse 2: Green]
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Speak the sound of fear
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Speak the sound of fear

[Chorus: Green, George Pettit, and Wade MacNeil]
Oh mother, you oughta be there
I want to go to heaven
(I'm gonna go to heaven when I die)
Roll Jordan, roll Jordan
Roll Jordan
Oh father, you oughta be there
I want to go to heaven
(I'm gonna go to heaven when I die)
Roll Jordan, roll Jordan

[Verse 3: Green and Crowd]
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Oh, they speak him near
Hallelujah
We'll praise the lord
Hallelujah

Ladies and gentlemen, George Pettit

[Bridge: Green and Pettit]
He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
You know seven trumpets
Oh, they speak him near

[Chorus: Green and Pettit]
Oh mother, you oughta be there

[Outro: Green]
My momma told me when I was a child
She said "Son, you're gonna have hard times"
And my daddy told me too
He said "Son, you're gonna have sad days and lonely nights"
So I'm sat alone, head hung down
With tears, tears running down
I'm sat alone, head hung down
Sad days, lonely nights, ooh
