Jesse Winchester - Step By Step

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
