Rock of Ages Lyrics

ROCK OF AGES
Gillian Welch and David Rawlings
CAPO : 1
Chorus:
Round round
Wanna go round
Wanna see the Rock of Ages
When my body gives out
Gonna read the final pages
Oh my mother is gone
She told me I should meet her
Some day streets of gold
Gonna guide me on
To greet her
Once my father sat down
And told me of the prophets
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
They're gone but not forgotten
Round round
Wanna go round
Wanna see the Rock of Ages
When my body gives out
Gonna read the gospel pages
Moses heard a voice
It called him up the mountain
Forty days had set
When Moses come a-shouting
Round round
Wanna go round
Wanna see the Rock of Ages
When my body gives out
Gonna read the final pages
Round round
Wanna go round
Wanna see the Rock of Ages
Till my body gives out
Gonna read the gospel pages
Round round
Wanna go round
Wanna see the Rock of Ages
When my body gives out
Gonna read the final pages
