On the day I die and go up to heaven
I hope that good St. Peter lets me in
For I've lived a life of sin and pleasure
But this old soul is wearing thin

[Chorus]
Sin and pleasure, sin and pleasure
Oh my dear Lord help me make amends
I've been walking in the Devil's footsteps
Help me wash away my sin

I begged and stole a lifetime of sorrow
I'd lie and cheat to have my way
For I've lived a life of sin and pleasure
But this old soul had gone astray

[Chorus]

I'd leave my friends out in the darkness
Where they'd never find their own way home
For I've lived a life of sin and pleasure
Now this old soul is all alone

[Chorus]
