Gates of Heaven

Oh my mama she went to Heaven and the last word that she said

Son you won't never follow me because you're so mean and bad

Oh but I want to go Heaven, I want to see my mama there

But when I stand before the gates of heaven with a bucket full of sins

Lord I'm a bad-ass motherfucker but won't you please let me in

 

So I'm a motherless pilgrim, I miss her anywhere

I want to go to Heaven I want to see my mama there

I want to play the golden harp I want to hear my mama sing

But when I stand before the gates of heaven with a bucket full of sins

Lord I'm a bad-ass motherfucker but won't you please let me in

 

Oh my mama she went to Heaven and the last word that she said

Son you won't never follow me (stop) because you're so mean and bad!

Oh but I want to go Heaven, I want to see my mama there

But when I stand before the gates of heaven with a bucket full of sins

Lord I'm a bad-ass motherfucker but won't you please let me in
