For many long years through this world

I have roamed

Not thinking of the day last to come

But now I have changed

And I want the world to know

That I'm going to make heaven my home

I'm going to make heaven my home

Sweet home

I'm left in this world all alone

No mother or dad I've lost all I had

And I'm going to make heaven my home

The nights seem so lonely

Around the cabin home

No mother left to guide us along

But on that golden strand

I'll take her by the hand

For I'm going to make heaven my home

I'm going to make heaven my home

Sweet home

I'm left in this world all alone

No mother or dad I've lost all I had

And I'm going to make heaven my home

There's things in this old world

That's so hard to understand

Why you have to lose the one you love so

But it's wonderful to know

When you leave this world below

That you are going to

Make heaven your home

I'm going to make heaven my home

Sweet home

I'm left in this world all alone

No mother or dad I've lost all I had

And I'm going to make heaven my home
