You can´t.... Biblical references tell the story.

lyrics

Well now the Lord said to Abraham
“I got a little job right here for you
It's nothing that no daddy in his right mind would want to do
It's calling for a sacrifice, but then again maybe no
But still you can't take him with you,
Can't take him with you when you go”

You can't take it with ya,
you can't take it with ya when you go
You can't take it with ya,
you can't take it with ya when you go
The Lord he come and get ya,
He comin' down to get ya don't you know
You can't take it with ya,
you can't take it with ya when you go


The Lord said to Moses “I got a little word I wanna say
To all of them there pagans dancin' and drinkin' the night away
I wrote 'em all down for ya, for all of this here world is gonna see
They're numbered one to ten,
Hey brother here's another one on me”

You can't take it with ya...

It don't mean nothin' if you put it in a sack
You can't bring nothin' and you're never comin' back

Well now the Lord said to Jesus,
“You'd better spread the word upon the land
Teach 'em generosity, kindness to each and every man
Material positions, leave them all there where they stand
Because you can't take 'em with ya,
you can't take 'em to the Promised Land”

You can't take it with ya...
