Lyrics St. Peter - Slim Dusty
Oh,
I
think
there
is
a
likeness
'twixt
St
Peter's
life
and
mine,
For
he
did
a
lot
of
trampin'
long
ago
in
Palestine
He
was
'union'
when
the
workers
first
began
to
organize,
And
I'm
glad
that
old
St.
Peter
keeps
the
gate
of
Paradise.
When
the
ancient
agitator
and
his
brothers
carried
swags,
I've
no
doubt
he
very
often
tramped
with
empty
tucker
bags.
And
I'm
glad
he's
Heaven's
picket,
for
I
hate
explainin'
things,
And
he'll
think
a
union
ticket
just
as
good
as
Whitely
King's
When
I
reach
the
great
head-station,
which
is
somewhere
off
the
track'
I
won't
want
to
talk
with
angels
who
have
never
been
outback,
They
might
bother
me
with
offers
of
a
banjo
meanin'
well,
And
a
pair
of
wings
to
fly
with,
when
I
only
want
a
spell.
Oh
Yeah!
I'll
just
ask
for
old
St.
Peter
and
I
think,
when
he
appears,
I
will
only
have
to
tell
him
that
I
carried
swag
for
years,
"I've
been
on
the
track,"
I'll
tell
him,
"an'
I've
done
the
best
I
could"
And
he'll
understand
me
better
than
the
other
angels
would.
He
won't
try
to
get
a
out
of
lungs
that's
worn
to
rags,
Or
to
graft
the
wings
on
shoulders
stiff
with
humpin'
swags,
But
I'll
rest
about
the
station
where
the
work-bell
never
rings,
'Til
they
blow
the
final
trumpet
and
the
Great
Judge
sees
to
things.
Oh,
I
think
there
is
a
likeness
'twixt
St
Peter's
life
and
mine,
For
he
did
a
lot
of
trampin'
long
ago
in
Palestine.
He
was
'union'
when
the
workers
first
began
to
organize,
And
I'm
glad
that
old
St.
Peter
keeps
the
gate
of
Paradise.
Oh,
Yes
I'm
glad
that
old
St.
Peter
keeps
the
gate
of
Paradise.
