You Don't Knock

Kingston Trio


You don't knock. (you don't knock.)you just walk on in. the door
(the door)
Into heaven's inn.
There's love (there's love) and joy for you to share (to share)
The whole day
Through.
I know (i know) my friends are there to rest (to rest) in the
Heaven's nest.
You don't knock, ring, punch a hole. the door's wide open
A-waitin' for your
Soul. you don't knock just walk on in.

I've walked life's winding road (oh, yeah!) 'cause i'm tryin' to
Bear the load
(oh, yeah!)
And i traveled both night and day. (oh, yeah!) so tired i could
Hardly pray
(oh, yeah!)
Well, jesus, my light and guide, (oh, yeah!) oh, he's ever by my
Side. (oh,
Yeah!)
So, i'm walkin', not a-knockin', into heaven with pride.

I'll have no need to fear. (oh, yeah!) well, he is ever near.
(oh, yeah!)
He'll know my work was true. (oh, yeah!) so glad the day is
Through. (yeah!)
Well it wasn't for me to say. (oh, yeah!) i didn't think i'd
Make my way. (oh,
Yeah!)'
So, i'm walkin', not a-knockin', to heaven with pride.
