He always dreamed of making a fortune
But that's not easy for an honest man
He'd smile and say I'll do it if God's willing
And when one failed he had another plan
Had a forty dollar suite made of paper
And a hundred dollar coffin made of tin
His dream won't come true that he chased his whole life through
Yet Lord we know today his ship came in
He'd laugh with us kids and he'd tease us
As we passed his place on our way home
Sometimes he'd stop and tell us about Jesus
And the streets of gold he'd soon be walkin' on
Had a forty dollar suite made of paper
And a hundred dollar coffin made of tin
His dream won't come true that he chased his whole life through
Yet Lord we know today his ship came in
Had a forty dollar suite made of paper
And a hundred dollar coffin made of tin
His dream won't come true that he chased his whole life through
Yet Lord we know today his ship came in
We know today that ship of gold came in"
