Mostly correct with the lyrics, Jim, though I've still got a hole in one of your spots that neither of us can get. For anyone interested in hearing the album, you can download the songs at this link: http://ift.tt/1NnDsTZ (and don't worry, I did. The files are safe)

This is off of the first of 2 albums made by Jim Schoenfeld, *Schony. This album was mostly bluegrass/country-themed covers of songs by other artists, ranging from The Jimi Hendirx Experience's hit "All Along the Watchtower," to Jerry Lee Lewis' hit "Great Balls of Fire," to the Beatles. It only featured 2 original songs: this one, written by John Valby, and "Before," written by Schoenfeld. The album was credited only to Schoenfeld, despite Valby's role in it. Schoenfeld's second album, The Key Is Love (which was credited to Schoenfeld and Valby), consisted of only Schoenfeld-Valby originals.

BARBECUE IN HEAVEN
(John Valby)

Yee-hah!

There'll be a barbecue in heaven when I get there
I'm gettin' hungry just waitin' to go
There'll be a barbecue in heaven when I get there
I hope I get to go

Life's gone; work's hard; kids to raise and feed
And every day I gladly pray for the Judgment Day
There'll be a cloud in the sky, and the angels say
"Howdy, son! Come on in. Stick it on your tray"

There'll be a barbecue in heaven when I get there
I'm gettin' hungry just waitin' to go
There'll be a barbecue in heaven when I get there
I hope I get to go

When I was just a little boy, my daddy said, "Now, son,
Bury me with a bucket's fill when you put me in the ground
'Cause when I pass through the Pearly Gates and smell that pit-fire burnin'
Jesus cookin' barbecue ?unscrew all the Cokes and cown?

There'll be a barbecue in heaven when I get there
I'm gettin' hungry just waitin' to go
There'll be a barbecue in heaven when I get there
I hope I get to go
I hope I get to go

A nickel's a nickel and a dime's a dime
I'd sing another riff but we ain't got time!
