93. Don't Let It Be Said, Too Late

Chorus:
My mother, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone,
To enter the golden gate;
Don't let it be said, too late, too late,
To enter the golden gate.

1 My mother, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone,
To enter the golden gate;
My mother, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone,
To enter the golden gate. [Chorus]

2 My father, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone,
To enter the golden gate;
My father, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone,
To enter the golden gate. [Chorus]

3 My sister, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone,
To enter the golden gate;
My sister, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone,
To enter the golden gate. [Chorus]

4 My brother, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone,
To enter the golden gate;
My brother, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone,
To enter the golden gate. [Chorus]

5 My Jesus, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone,
To enter the golden gate;
My Jesus, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone,
To enter the golden gate. [Chorus]
