  • I saw my mother this mornin'
    She was walkin down that lonesome road
    Tryin to make it in due time
    Before the heaven doors close
    Tryin to get to heaven in due time
    Before the heaven doors close

    I thought I heard her say:
    Wake me, shake me
    Don't let me sleep too long
    Tryin to get to heaven in due time
    Before the heaven doors close
    Tryin to make it in due time
    Before the heaven doors close Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
