Just One Way to the Pearly Gates Songtext
von Uncle Dave Macon

There are many paths through this world of sin
But there′s only one I shall travel in
'Tis the old Cross Road, or the way called "Straight"
There is just one way to the pearly gate

There is just one way (there is just one way)
To the pearly gate (to the pearly gate)
To the crown of life (to the crown of life)
And the friends who wait (and the friends who wait)
′Tis the old Cross Road ('tis the old Cross Road)
Or the way called "Straight" (or the way called "Straight")
There is just one way (there is just one way)
To the pearly gate (to the pearly gate)

There are some who sneer at the old Cross Road
At the pearly gate, and the soul's abode
But I mind them not, but with happy song
I′m happy on the way that I′m traveling on


There is just one way (there is just one way)
To the pearly gate (to the pearly gate)
To the crown of life (to the crown of life)
And the friends who wait (and the friends who wait)
'Tis the old Cross Road (′tis the old Cross Road)
Or the way called "Straight" (or the way called "Straight")
There is just one way (there is just one way)
To the pearly gate (to the pearly gate)

Others risk their souls on some new-made way
Thinking they will come to the gate someday
Oh, may they find out before their lives are done
That the old Cross Road is the only one

There is just one way (there is just one way)
To the pearly gate (to the pearly gate)
To the crown of life (to the crown of life)
And the friends who wait (and the friends who wait)
'Tis the old Cross Road (′tis the old Cross Road)
Or the way called "Straight" (or the way called "Straight")
There is just one way (there is just one way)
To the pearly gate (to the pearly gate)
