Lyrics:
(Arranged and adapted by Elvis Presley)
Yes I’m gonna walk on the milky white way
Oh Lord some of these days
I'm gonna walk that milky white way
Some of these days well well well well
I'm gonna walk up and take my stand
Gonna join that Christian band
I'm gonna walk on that milky white way
Oh Lord, some of these days
I'm gonna tell my mother howdy, howdy,
Howdy when I get home
Yes, I’m gonna tell my mother howdy,
When I get home well well well well
I'm gonna shake my mother's hand
I will shake her hands that day
That's when we walk on the milky white way
On some of these days
I'm gonna meet god the father and god the son
Yes, I’m gonna meet god the father and god the son
Well well well well
I'm gonna sit down and tell Him my troubles
About the world that I just came from
That's when we walk on the milky white way
Oh Lord, on some of these days

Nice info as always Steve ( and Col )
I love this song. I think that is the best one of elvis in gospel music
At this moment in time,my FAV Elvis track.
To hear the real EP,play his Gospel sides.
the original version of Milky white way was recorded in dec. 1944 by The Coleman Brothers.

I like the take from Platinum better than the original master.
An amazing delivery by Elvis on this Gospel favorite. I love that entire album!!
