Bien qu’elle soit créditée à Bryan Morrison, l’imprésario des Pretty Things, Judgement Day est en réalité une reprise du bluesman américain Snooky Pryor, dont la version a vu le jour en face B du single Someone to Love Me publié par Vee-Jay Records en 1956.
Paroles
What you gonna do on Judgement Day?
Time runs out, baby, and you can’t stay
Screamin’ and fuzzin’, you got to go,
Hello Saint Peter, won’t you open the door
Yes, I’m coming, yes, I’m coming, yes baby I’m coming,
And it’s like my time ain’t long
When I’m dead, bury me deep
The tombstone-women, head and feet
Fold my arms across my chest,
And tell my baby that I’m gone to rest
Yes, I’m coming, yes, I’m coming, yes baby I’m coming
And I know my time ain’t long
When I’m dead, bury me deep
The tombstone-women, head and feet
Fold my arms across my chest,
And tell my baby that I’m gone to rest
Yes, I’m coming, yes, I’m coming, yes baby I’m coming
And I know my time can’t be long
