Step By Step Lyrics

[00:11.86] Step by step
[00:13.35] All the happy Saints go marching in
[00:17.39] And if a Saint step out of line
[00:20.23] He'll have to start again
[00:22.66] 'Cause Jacob's golden ladder
[00:25.67] Gets slippery at the top
[00:28.45] And many a happy-go-lucky Saint
[00:31.06] Has made that long, long drop
[00:33.70] If I'm late, don't wait
[00:36.57] Go on without me
[00:39.73] I may tarry awhile
[00:45.10] 'Cause I mean to know before I go
[00:50.77] How come the Devil smiles
[00:55.21]
[01:20.95] If I'm late, don't wait
[01:24.02] Go on without me
[01:27.40] I may tarry awhile
[01:32.25] 'Cause I mean to know before I go
[01:38.11] How come the Devil smiles
[01:46.97] Free from care, free from fear
[01:49.41] The Saints are trooping in
[01:52.16] Children play all around the throne
[01:55.28] Innocent of sin
[01:57.69] A trillion voices sing the name
[02:00.57] The mortals may not know
[02:03.20] And Heaven's wall's too high to hear
[02:05.93] The trouble down below
[02:08.31] If I'm late, don't wait
[02:11.31] Go on without me
[02:14.48] I may tarry awhile
[02:19.80] 'Cause I mean to know before I go
[02:25.66] How come the Devil smiles
[02:31.15] I mean to know before I go
[02:36.75] How come the Devil smiles
[02:42.25] 'Cause I mean to know before I go
[02:48.08] How come the Devil smiles
[02:53.22] 'Cause I...
