I'm waiting at the gates
Just queuing in the line of sorrow
And I can hardly wait
For the harvest to reap tomorrow
And I ain't wasting no more time
Cause the lord waits for no man
St. Peter won't you let me in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
St. Peter won't you let me in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
I'm waiting at the gates
No sign of the right hand man-o
I know I gotta wait
No bargain time to beg or borrow
And I ain't wasting no more time
Cause the lord waits for no man
St. Peter won't you let me in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
St. Peter won't you let me in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
I'm waiting at the gates
Just waiting in the line of sorrow
And I can hardly wait
For the harvest to reap tomorrow
St. Peter won't you let me in
St. Peter won't you let me in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
Lord knows all the trouble I'm in
