Got sweet Heaven in my view, hallelujah
On my journey, I press on, praise the Lord
And I'm bound for that holy city
Got sweet Heaven in my view

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

Got sweet Heaven in my view, hallelujah
On my journey I press on, praise the Lord
And I'm bound for that holy city
Got sweet heaven in my view

And when I get to Heaven
Take a seat and set right down
Looking up at my Heavenly father
He's a king without a crown

Got sweet Heaven in my view, hallelujah
On my journey I press on, praise the Lord
And I'm bound for that holy city
Got sweet Heaven in my view
Got sweet Heaven in my view
