I've got the keys to the kingdom
The world can't do me no harm
(repeat)
Go Gabriel, get the trumpet
Move on down to the sea
Don't you sound that trumpet
Till you hear from me

I've got the keys to the kingdom
The world can't do me no harm
(repeat)

Take old John on the island
Place him in a kettle of oil
Then the angels came from Heaven down
Told them that the oil wouldn't boil

I've got the keys to the kingdom
The world can't do me no harm
(repeat)

Take old Paul and Silas
Place them in the jail below
Then the angels came from Heaven down
And unlocked the prison house door
I've got the keys to the kingdom
The world can't do me no harm
(repeat)

When I get in trouble
I know I done no crime
Wake up Central(?) in Glory
Jesus come to the phone (?)

I've got the keys to the kingdom
The world can't do me no harm
(repeat)

I've got the keys in my bosom
I carry it everywhere I go
I've got the keys in my bosom
The world can't do me no harm

I've got the keys to the kingdom
The world can't do me no harm
(repeat)
