Heaven Is High

Hand me down my walkin' shoes

Hand me down my cane

Hand me down my black umbrella it looks like it just might rain

Don't need no rifle, I'm starin' into the sun

Both hands on your Bible Martha, now pray I don't kill no-one

Heaven is high and the Earth below

Hold my mind, bless my soul

And if I die before the trumpet blow

Hang me heaven high when they lay me low

If your God is vengeful, might take your tooth

He might even take out your eye

But do you think it'd help you see the truth?

When that cup gets emptied, all that wrath gets poured

Still no peace in the valley when you're fightin' on the side of the Lord

Heaven is high and the Earth below

Hold my mind, bless my soul

And if I die before the trumpet blow

Hang me heaven high when they lay me low

Hang me heaven high when they lay me low
