Come on in, oh, come on in (straight on in) Come right on in, Heaven’s pearly gates (Repeat) Mary told her children as she drew her final breath Celebrate my life, and don’t you mourn my death Chorus One last drop of whiskey, then Johnny shut his eyes His father had a bottle when he reached the other side Chorus 2x - Solo Nellie lost her husband 40 years this night Gripped his loving hand as she stepped into the light Chorus Henry had three brothers; they fell in World War II They were there to greet him, when brother Hank walked though Chorus 2x - Solo The preacher came a callin,’ bowed his head in prayer Pain left Emma’s body and she took her leave of there Chorus When I meet my maker, when I pass away Y’all come and meet me and this is what you say Chorus 2x – Solo
