G!d's Plain Truth

Nine angels waving welcome home
Couldn't make you smile
Not twice beguiled
Sweet, ornery you
We're born and we must die alone
Best go in style
And that's just G!d's plain truth

Nine angels tugging towing chains
And you drag your feet
Got folks to meet
And things to prove
Make more those final growing pains
Ornery than sweet
Because that's just G!d's plain truth

But have no fear
Have no sorrow
You couldn't beg or borrow
A nicer boy than I
To wear that long, black veil
And nobody will know but me
And all Creation
Because that's just G!d saying --

Have no shame
Have no mercy
It must be worth seeing
How much more there is life to come
Than rating a long, black veil
And nobody will know but me
And all Creation
And that's just G!d saying --

Nine angels belting harmony
Couldn't change your mind
Unless you decide
That you want us to
Nine angels sweet and ornery
Here to do your time
And that's just G!d's plain truth

So have no shame
Have no sorrow
Have no fear
You have nine angels
