[Draft Created by Crowdsourcing]
I went to Sunday School today,
An learned a'nawful lot
About some men with funny
names
Like Noah, Job, and Lot,
They told us all about dear
God,
He is so very good,
He wants us to be sweet
and nice
And do the things we should.
He has a house up in the
clouds
With golden streets 'n things,
And everyone is angels there
With pretty, shiny wings.
I'm gonna try to be real
good,
And someday when I die,
I'll go a' sailin' 'through the'
air
To God's house in the
sky
And I'll not be a bit a-
fraid,
Just go to him and say,
"I've been so good, now, please,
I'd like a harp to play."
