Lyrics
The Blues Mansion In The Sky
Way out in the back of every dirty little shack
There's a mansion filled with our dreams
If you're livin' like a pauper, toilin' every day
Come join us and live like kings
This mansion is filled with The Brotherhood of Man
And its roof is as big as the sky
There's a room for every man, woman and child
And the view is expansive and wide
Every tiny little child is born in this room
And returns on the day it dies
But we all can live there every day
We don't have to struggle and cry
Blues mansion in the sky
Blues mansion in the sky
Now here on this earth we sing our blues
And fuss about the things we own
But God doesn't want us to live this way
To worry and cry out and moan
So brothers and sisters come join me there
In the Blues Mansion in the Sky
Where we'll leave behind our earthly cares
And where death itself shall die
Blues mansion in the sky
Blues mansion in the sky
