Can I Take My Hounds To Heaven? (Jubilee Version)

[Verse 1] You tell me there are streets of gold And angels in the air And while all that's fine and dandy And I'm sure it's nice up there There's just one thing that I need to know Before I settle down Can I take my hounds to Heaven? Can I hunt on God's ground? [Verse 2] Now you say if I quit drinking And try to toe the line I can make it up to Glory At the end of my life And while whiskey's hard to throw away It's somethin' I'd try to do If I could spend forever Runnin' hounds and treein' coons [Chorus] But if I can't take my hounds to Heaven If I can't hunt on God's land I'd rather load my dog box up And go to Hell with all my friends I will wake up in the mornin' And I will follow you to town If I can take my hounds to Heaven If I can hunt on God's ground [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Now you say if I quit smokin' And my rough and rowdy ways We can hold hands forever On streets of gold someday But the only way I could stand it now And I hate to say it's true Is when you give me a hard time I can do what I want to do [Chorus] But if I can't take my hounds to Heaven If I can't hunt on God's land I'd rather load my dog box up And go to Hell with all my friends I will wake up in the mornin' And I will follow you to town If I can take my hounds to Heaven If I can hunt on God's ground [Outro] If I can take my hounds to Heaven If I can hunt on God's ground
