KEEP A-KNOCKIN'. Copyright, 1894, by The S. Brainard's Sons Co. Words by Michael E. Rourke. Music by Frank Pallma. 
I'se gwine for to buy me a golden car, Keep a-knockin', keep a-knockin'; To carry me up to de land afar, Keep a-knockin', keep a-knockin'; De hosses shall be oh de finest breed, W'id wings on dare feet, for to gib dem speed; De angel band I'se gwine for to lead, Keep a-knockin' at de golden gate. 
Chorus. 'Way up high, in de sky: chil'un don't be late; Be sure to bring your money, or Pete will say, "My honey, keep a-knockin', Keep a-knockin', keep a-knockin' at de goiden gate." "Who's dar? "says Petah. "'Tis I, your honey." "Well, you, keep knockin', knockin', knockin', keep a-knockin'." 
Jes' roll all dose great big clouds away, Keep a-knockin', keep a-knockin': Don't want any piccaninnies standin' in de way, Keep a-knockin', keep a-knockin'; So good-bye, honey, if de track's well laid; I'll bet you my head if Fee not delayed, I'll host all de time dat was eber made, Keep a-knockin' at de golden gate.- Chorus. 
I'se tired ob dis earth, so I must away, Keep a-knockin', keep a-knockin'; So bye-bye, my honey, till de Judgment Day, Keep a-knockin', keep a-knockin" ; Ole Petah am standin' at de golden gate To see me arribe in a two-minute gate; He won't hab de heart for to tell me to wait, Keep a-knockin' at de golden gate.- Chorus.
