When my time on this earth is over, if I should fly
To that sweet home of angels up above To all my earthly pleasures, I will bid good-bye
But I'll miss that gospel bluegrass that I love
So gather round and raise your blessed voices
And enjoy that gospel bluegrass, while you live
It's hard to find a banjo player up in heaven
There's some things even Jesus won't forgive
There's glorious swells, harps and bells awaiting
In heaven I'll hear Gabriel's trumpet blow But I'm reassured to know that Satan
Has lots of work for banjo players down below
So gather round and raise your pleasant voices
And play that gospel bluegrass, while you live
It's hard to find a banjo player up in heaven
There's some things even Jesus won't forgive
There's some things even Jesus won't forgive
