There are many paths through this world of sin
But there's only one I will travel in
'Tis the old crossroads, on the way called straight
There's just one way to the pearly gate
There's just one way to the pearly gate
To the crown of life and the freinds who wait
It's the old crossroads or the way called straight
There's just one way to the pearly gate
There are some who sneer at the old crossroads
At the pearly gates and the streets of gold
Yet I mind them not, but with happy song
And assurance sweet, I press along
* Refrain
Other risk their soul on some new made way
Thinking they will reach the gates some day
May they find out 'ere life is done
That the old crossroads is the only one
* Refrain
