Sweet Heaven In My View

(album: The Carter Family Volume 2 - 1935-1941 - 2003)

Got sweet Heaven in my view, hallelujah
On my journey, I press on, praise the Lord
For I'm bound for that Holy City
Got sweet Heaven in my view

Oh, my mother, she died and left me
I'm alone in this world, I'm alone
And my father, he won't own me
Got to find me another home

Got sweet Heaven in my view, hallelujah
On my journey, I press on, praise the Lord
For I'm bound for that Holy City
Got sweet Heaven in my view

Oh, you need not talk about me
Just because I am cripple and blind
For I've got my ticket purchased
I'll reach Heaven just on time

Got sweet Heaven in my view, hallelujah
On my journey, I press on, praise the Lord
For I'm bound for that Holy City
Got sweet Heaven in my view

And when I get to Heaven
Take a seat and sit right down
Looking up to my Heavenly Father
Looking for a robe and a crown

Got sweet Heaven in my view, hallelujah
On my journey, I press on, praise the Lord
For I'm bound for that Holy City
Got sweet Heaven in my view
