Step by step |
|
All the happy Saints go marching in |
|
And if one of those Saints step out of line |
|
He'll have to start again |
|
Cause Jacob's golden ladder |
|
Get's slippery at the top |
|
And many a happy-go-lucky saint |
|
Has made that long long drop |
|
If I'm late don't wait |
|
Go on without me |
|
I may tarry awhile |
|
Cause I need to know |
|
Before I go |
|
How come the Devil smiles |
|
If I'm late don't wait |
|
Go on without me |
|
I may tarry awhile |
|
Cause I need to know |
|
Before I go |
|
How come the Devil smiles |
|
Free from care |
|
Free from sin |
|
The Saints are trooping in |
|
The children play all around the throne |
|
Innocent of sin |
|
A trillion voices sing the name |
|
The mortals may not know |
|
And Heaven's walls are too high to hear |
|
The trouble down below |
|
If I'm late don't wait |
|
Go on without me |
|
I may tarry awhile |
|
Cause I need to know |
|
Before I go |
|
How come the Devil smiles |
|
I need to know |
|
Before I go |
|
How come the Devil smiles |
|
I need to know |
|
Before I go |
|
How come the Devil smiles |
