Step By Step
Step by step
All the happy Saints go marching in
And if a Saint step out of line
He'll have to start again
'Cause Jacob's golden ladder
Gets 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
Children play all around the throne
Innocent of sin
A trillion voices sing the name
The mortals may not know
And Heaven's wall's 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
'Cause I mean to know before I go
How come the Devil smiles
'Cause I...
All the happy Saints go marching in
And if a Saint step out of line
He'll have to start again
'Cause Jacob's golden ladder
Gets 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
Children play all around the throne
Innocent of sin
A trillion voices sing the name
The mortals may not know
And Heaven's wall's 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
'Cause I mean to know before I go
How come the Devil smiles
'Cause I...
