Sweet Heaven in My View by The Carter Family Lyrics

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
