Classic Poem

VERSE

In this cloudy sky overhead now,
There's no guiding star I can see.
I would be lost,
By each wild tempest tossed,
If I didn't know
Of a place we two can go.

REFRAIN 1

There's a little cabin in the sky,
Baby,
For me and for you,
I feel that it's true somehow.
Can't you see that cabin in the sky,
Mister,
An acre or two
Of heavenly blue to plow?
We will be oh so gay,
Eat fried chicken ev'ry day
As the angels go sailing by.
That is why my heart is flying high,
Mister,
'Cause I know we'll have a
Cabin in the sky.

REFRAIN 2

There may be a little cabin in the sky,
Baby,
Yet I am a boy
Who's headed for joy below.
There may be an acre way up high,
Lady,
But I ain't got wings
And I want the things I know.
I done heard preachers pray
'Bout that chicken ev'ry day,
But I'd settle for gravy now.
Since I guess I'll never learn to fly,
Lady,
I'm jes passing by that
Cabin in the sky.
