Gospel Boogie (A Wonderful Time Up There) Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Everybody′s gonna have religion and glory
Everybody's gonna be a-singin′ that story
Everybody's gonna have a wonderful time up there
Oh, glory hallelujah
Brother, there's a reckonin′ a-comin′ in the mornin'
Better get ready ′cause I'm givin′ you the warnin'
Everybody′s gonna have a wonderful time up there

Well you listen, everybody 'cause I'm talkin′ to you
Jesus is the only one to carry you through
Better get you ready ′cause I'm tellin′ you why
The Lord is a-comin' from his throne on high
Many are the weary and alone and sad
Gonna wish they hadn′t done the things they had
How ya gonna feel about the things he'll say brother on that judgment day?


Everybody′s gonna have religion and glory
Everybody's gonna be a-singin' that story
Everybody′s gonna have a wonderful time up there
Oh, glory hallelujah
Brother, there′s a reckonin' a-comin′ in the mornin'
Better get you ready ′cause I'm givin′ you the warnin'
Everybody's gonna have a wonderful time up there

Well you listen here my sister I′m not leaving you out
You′re not a preacher but you sing and shout
Why do you worry if you been redeemed?
Heaven's even better than a miser′s dream
Think about the trouble you could save some soul
Tell them what to do to reach the shining gold
Surely you could show them how to find the light
And make the whole thing right

Everybody's gonna have religion and glory
Everybody′s gonna be a-singin' that story
Everybody′s gonna have a wonderful time up there
Oh, glory hallelujah
Brother, there's a reckonin' a-comin′ in the mornin′
Better get you ready 'cause I′m givin' you the warnin′
Everybody's gonna have a wonderful time up there


Well now when the tribulations darken the way
That′s when you get on your knees and pray
Everybody's gonna have the troubles too
Gotta be careful about the things we do
Going down the valley going one by one
Gonna be rewarded for the things we've done
When we get to Heaven and the promised land
Brother then we′ll understand

Everybody′s gonna have religion and glory
Everybody's gonna be a-singin′ that story
Everybody's gonna have a wonderful time up there
Oh, glory hallelujah
Brother, there′s a reckonin' a-comin′ in the mornin'
Better get ready 'cause I′m givin′ you the warnin'
Everybody′s gonna have a wonderful time up there
