Travelin' Shoes Lyrics

Death come a knockin' on that sinner's door
Said, "Oh, sinner are you ready to go?"
He said, "No, no, no, no, no no no
Because I ain't got on my travelin shoes (ain't paid my dues)"

[Chorus]
Yeah Singin', "no, no, no"
Oh, Lordy, "no, no, no"
Because I ain't got on my travelin' shoes

Death come a knockin' on that lier's door
Said, "Oh, lier are you ready to go?"
He said, "No, no, no, no, no no no
Because I ain't got on my travelin shoes (ain't paid my dues)"

Repeat Chorus

Death come a knockin' on that gambler's door
Said, "Oh, gambler are you ready to go?"
He said, "No, no, no, no, no no no
Because I ain't got on my travelin shoes (ain't paid my dues)"

Repeat Chorus

Death come a knockin' on that Christian's door
Said, "Oh, Christian are you ready to go?"
He said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes yes
Because I just got on my travelin shoes (ain't paid my dues)"

[Chorus: 2]
Yeah singin', "Yes, yes, yes"
Oh, Lordy, "Yes, yes, yes
Because I just got on my travelin shoes"

Repeat Chorus 2 (x2)
