Bluegrass Songs - The old cross road

The old cross road

There are many paths through this world of sin
But there's only one I will travel in
'Tis the old cross road, on the way called straight
There's just one way to the pearly gate

    There's just one way to the pearly gate
    To the crown of life and the freinds who wait
    It's the old cross road or the way called straight
    There's just one way to the pearly gate

There are some who sneer at the old cross road
At the pearly gates and the streets of gold
Yet I mind them not, but with happy song
And assurance sweet, I press along

 * Refrain

Other risk their soul on some new made way
Thinking they will reach the gates some day
May they find out 'ere life is done
That the old cross road is the only one

 * Refrain
