Just One Way to the Pearly Gates Songtext
von Uncle Dave Macon

There′s many a path through this world of sin
There's only one I should travel in
To the old crossroad, on the way called straight
There′s just one way to the pearly gate

Father, just one way to the pearly gate
The crown of life, and the friends who wait
To the old crossroad, on the way called straight
There's just one way to the pearly gate

There's some who sneer at the old crossroad
At the pearly gates and the souls of gold
But I mind them not with a happy song
For I′m happy on the way I′m a-traveling on


Father, just one way to the pearly gate
To the crown of life, and the friends who wait
To the old crossroad, on the way called straight
There's just one way to the pearly gate

Some have risked their soul on a new-made way
Thinkin′ they would come to the gate some day
Oh, may they find out before life is done
That the old crossroad is the only one

Father, just one way to the pearly gate
To the crown of life, and the friends who wait
To the old crossroad, on the way called straight
There's just one way to the pearly gate

Yeah, brother, there′s just one way to the pearly gate
