Beyond The Clouds

An old log house and it half-built
 A home made bed, just one old quilt
 A Holy Bible that Ma' left to me
 Makes me as rich, as rich can be
 My friends have gold, yet they are sad
 They own the best that can be had
 While I just live from day to day
 I know the Lord will make a way
 My corn crib's filled with nothing but cobs
 'Cause corn won't grow on these poor knobs
 The sun's too hot and the rain won't fall
 There's a cloud in the sky but it's too small
 My housetop leaks and I get damp
 Here on this Earth I'm called a tramp
 But I can smile and feel so proud
 I know my home's beyond the clouds
 ♪
 My old hound dog is growing thin
 Like me he only has two friends
 I'm sure that if we only knew
 He longs for Heaven like me and you
 My shoes are thin, my feet get cold
 But I trudge on to make my goal
 For I can smile and feel so proud
 I know my home's beyond the clouds
 I know my home's beyond the clouds
