Last night as I lay sleeping,
I died or so it seems.
Then I went to heaven
But, it was only in my dream.
But it seems St. Peter met me
There at the Pearly Gates.
He said, "I must check your record,
So stand here and wait."
I see where you drank alcohol
And swore quite often too.
Fact is you've done many things
That a good person shouldn't do
We can't have people like you up here,
Your life was full of sin.
Then he read the last of my record,
Grasped my hand and said, "Come In."
He took me to the Big Boss, who
Said, "Take him and treat him well".
He worked on the railroad, Sir.
He's had his share of HELL.
