HAIL! HAIL!

Chorus:
Hail! Hail! I'll tell you when I get over;
Hail! Hail! You know I can't stay here.

John he Baptist did declare,
You know I can't stay here.
That none but the righteous would be there,
You know I can't stay here.

When I get on my golden shoes,
You know I can't stay here.
I'll walk about heaven and tell the news,
You know I can't stay here.

When I get in the middle of the air,
You know I can't stay here.
Not a sinner will be there,
You know I can't stay here.
