[Chorus]
I'm gonna walk, walk dem golden stairs
'Cause I know my Jesus answers all my prayers
Well, well I know when He calls me to my home on high
I'll walk dem golden stairs when I die, when I die

[Verse 1]
Oh Lord, you know I can hardly wait
To reach that suite by and by, by and by
And now I see those pearly gates
I'll walk dem golden stairs when I die, when I die

[Chorus]
Well, well, well
I'm gonna walk, walk dem golden stairs
'Cause I know my Jesus answers all my prayers
Well, well I know when He calls me to my home on high
I'll walk dem golden stairs when I die, when I die

[Verse 2]
When Jesus says to me, "Well done"
And all my cares are laid by
I'll lay down my soul, my battles are all won
I'll walk dem golden stairs when I die when I die

[Chorus]
Well, well, well
I'm gonna walk, walk dem golden stairs
'Cause I know my Jesus answers all my prayers
Well, well I know when He calls me to my home on high
I'll walk dem golden stairs when I die, when I die

Well, well, well
I'm gonna walk, walk dem golden stairs
'Cause I know my Jesus answers all my prayers
Well, well I know when He calls me to my home on high
I'll walk dem golden stairs when I die, when I die

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
