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 Chorus; 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
