George Jones
Homecoming In Heaven
My years have been many
My loved ones are gone
And I miss them more every day
I'm ready to move to that heavenly home
And I yearn for the day I can say
Take this ring from my finger
These shoes from my feet
Take all of my worldly possessions away
Just leave me my bible
A date I must keep
It's homecoming in heaven for me
--- Instrumental ---
I'll kiss my ol' mother
Shake hands with my dad
I know they'll remember their boy
We'll all be so happy
And I'll be so glad
As our cup runneth over with joy!
Take this ring from my finger
These shoes from my feet
Take all of my worldly possessions away
Just leave me my bible
A date I must keep
It's homecoming in heaven for me..
