I love this song, and there are a lot of versions. The first one I heard was by Long John Baldry (great!), but there are also versions by the Dead, Nirvana, Loretta Lynn, and more. But I kinda have to go with the OG on this one

Another great song done by many people

So you thirsty of every trade,
Get your ticket for an airplane ride.
For Jesus the saviour is comin' again,
To take us up to glory in his heavenly airplane."

"I know the police cause you trouble
They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to heaven
You won't find no policemen there"
