Don't ever let nobody drag your spirit down

You might slip and you might slide

You might tumble and fall down by the road side

But don't let nobody drag your spirit down.

Remember you're walking up to heaven

Don't let nobody turn you around

Walk with the rich, walk with the poor

Learn from everybody, that's what life is for

And don't let nobody ever drag your spirit down.

Well be walking up to heaven

Don't let nobody turn you around

Some say yes, some say no

Some wait and see which way the wind blows

Don't let nobody ever drag your spirit down.

Well be walking up to heaven

Don't let nobody turn you around

Well the things I say might sound strange to you

And I might preach the gospel and I believe it's true

And I won't let nobody drag my spirit down.

I'll be walking up to heaven

And I won't let nobody turn me around

You might slip and you might slide

You might tumble and fall down by the road side

But don't let nobody drag your spirit down.

Remember you're walking up to heaven

Don't let nobody turn you around

I won't let nobody turn you around
