If I Never Get To Heaven

(album: Back To The Blues - 1963)

Well, if I never get to heaven
It won't be because I ain't trying
If I never get to heaven
It won't be because I ain't trying

You see I've got myself an angel
And that's all I need to be my guide

If I never hit seven
Eleven once or twice ain't bad
I said, if I never hit seven
Eleven once or twice ain't bad

You see I've got myself an angel
And that's more than I ever had

He builds me up, he cuts me down
He treats me good when he's around
Sometimes he takes me out, to get a little tea
So stop that looking, fellas 'cause I got everything I need

You see I've got myself an angel
Standing here by my side

Well, if I never get to heaven
It won't be because I ain't trying
Well, well, if I never get to heaven
It won't be because I ain't trying

'Cause I've got myself an angel
And he's standing here by my side
