Letras
[Verse 1]
Step by step
All the happy saints go marching in
And if those saints step out of line
They 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
[Verse 2]
If I'm late, don't wait
Go on without me
I may tarry a while
'Cause I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles?
[Verse 3]
If I'm late, don't wait
Go on without me
I may tarry a while
'Cause I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles?
[Verse 4]
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 mortal may not know
And Heaven's walls too high to hear
The trouble down below
[Verse 5]
If I'm late, don't wait
Go on without me
I may tarry a while
'Cause I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles?
[Verse 6]
I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles?
'Cause I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles?
