DO YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN
words and music by Curly Putman & Bucky Jones
recorded by T.G. Sheppard

It was the [F] hottest day of August
All of [Bb] of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock [F] River
I was next in line to be baptised at the innocent age of ten [C7]

The [Bb] taste of that clear, pure [F] water
And that preacher’s words still fill my head and I [C7] hear them now

And [Bb] I said, [F] “Yes [C] just lead me on” [F]

And our final high school dance was just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love when boys turn into men

She was sittin’ at the end of the bar when I saw her
And with a little wine and an little time she would be a prize to win
Now I’ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure 
water
But that preacher’s words could not be heard, when she whispered, “ Come 
on in”
She said, “Do you...

Chorus:
