Step by Step lyrics

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
