Once there was a rich man Who hoarded all his goods Spent his money on himself Didn't do the things he should But one night d**h knocked on his door And called him on his bet And all that money stayed behind He'd worked so hard to get And when Jesus met a rich young man Who asked him what to do So he could have eternal life Jesus told him true He said give the poor all that you have And come and follow me And you'll have a heavenly bank account And live eternally You can't take it with ya You can't take it with ya You can't take it with ya Take it with ya when you're dead You can't take it with ya You can't take it with ya You can't take it with ya You gotta send it on ahead There's no one whose left his house His money or his lands For the sake of Jesus And the cross that he demands And there's no one for Jesus sake Who's left family or wife Who won't receive a hundred-fold And joy through all his life You can take that with you You can take that with you You can take your joy on with you Take it with you when you're dead You can take it with ya Your joy can sure go with ya You can take it right on with ya Take it with you when you're dead You can take it with ya Yeah, you can take it with ya If you live like Jesus said....
