Jesse Winchester Step By Step
Step by step
All the happy Saints go marching in
If a Saint 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 mean 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 mean to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles
Free from care
Free from fear
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 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 mean to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles
I mean to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles
I mean to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles
