Cos you’ll never take the time,
To reason with the reaper,
Or ask the questions why,
When he comes,

When he comes (When he comes,)
When he comes, (oh when he comes.)
Don’t reason with the reaper when he comes.

Your names etched in the marble,
Flowers at your feet,
black tie, teary eyed.
When he comes.


When he comes (When he comes,)
When he comes, (oh when he comes.)
Your names etched in the marble when he comes.


Songs from dusty hymn books,
Stained glass windows, take a pew
Say goodbye, say goodbye.
When he comes.


When he comes (When he comes,)
When he comes, (oh when he comes.)
Say goodbye say goodbye, when he comes.
When he comes.
When he comes (When he comes,)
When he comes, (oh when he comes.)
Don’t reason with the reaper when he comes.


I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS GOOD OR BAD. THANKS.

Hello Rybo75,

I am slightly mystified by your 'When He Comes' - is it a song to some hymn tune maybe ? If it is, then what hymn tune ?
(for a second I actually thought of 'Coming Round The Mountain' but it is clearly not that tune !?)
