 Original Lyrics
Heaven's mine -
Never thought I would see the day.
All my sins, used to covet like gold
Till the day
Met the savior, Lord Jesus.
His love shone upon me, I cried all the day.		 Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
Heaven's mine -
Now I talk with Jesus.
My sins are gone, washed in the blood.
My eyes now shine
'Cause He loves me forever.
With God holding my hand I will make it, amen.		 One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Heaven's mine -
Glory days are a'comin'.
Glory be! Now I walk with the Lord.
The Lord of heaven -
His glory's all a-round me;
His majesty is all that I can see.
 Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
