Lyrics

1
Well there’s a hole
just up above me
because my house is falling down.
And there’s a hole in the hardwood
& I can see the cold hard ground.
I can hear the floors acreak’n
but things are not
as they appear.
I’ve got a mansion over yonder
& I can see my home from here.

Ch
Well the shutters & shingles
are all worn out
& the wind & the rain
blow right through.
O but I’m gonna move
& I have no doubt
to a land where the skies
are just bright, clear blue
Well there’s a hole
just up above me
but I can see my home from here.

2
Well there’s a crack
across the ceiling
& the walls are getting old.
There’s a crack across the window
letting in the bitter the bitter cold.
You’d never know it
from the outside
on the inside there is cheer.
I’ve got a mansion over yonder
& I can see my home from here.
