This is a song we often sang in Boy Scouts. We substituted verses that spotlighted the adults who were along on our camping trips ("Oh you can't get to heaven/in Mr. Crawford's car/Because Mr. Crawford's car/stops at every bar").

Those pearly gates

Oh you can't get to heaven
On roller skates
'Cause you'd roll right by
Those pearly gates
I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more.

I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more
I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more
I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more.

Oh, you can't get to heaven

'Cause a rocking chair

Won't get you there

Oh, you can't get to heaven
In a rocking chair
'Cause a rocking chair
Won't get you there
I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more

If you get there
(If you get there)
Before I do
(Before I do)
Just dig a hole
(Just dig a hole)
And pull me through
(And pull me through)

If you get there
Before I do
Just dig a hole
And pull me through
I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more

I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more
I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more
I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more.
