Tell All the World, John

cho: Tell all the world, John,
     Tell all the world, John,
     Tell all the world, John,
     I know the other world is not like this.

The tallest tree in Paradise,
     I know the other world is not like this,
The Christians call it the tree of life,
     I know the other world is not like this.

Well, if religion was a thing that money could buy
The rich would live and the poor would die.

Well, I've never been to heaven, but I've been told
The gates are pearl and the streets are gold.

One of these mornings bright and fair,
I'm going to meet my Saviour there.

From Folksongs of Alabama, Arnold
