Barefoot in Heaven

Album: The Ruffian's Misfortune

Written by Ray Wylie Hubbard

Now they tell me the streets of heaven

Are paved with diamonds & gold

I may not get there but if I do

I believe I gonna take off my shoes

 

Gonna walk around heaven

Gonna walk around heaven

Barefooted singing God’s praise

Gonna walk around heaven

Gonna walk around heaven

Where there ain’t no end of days

 

Ain’t a secret if you know me.

I been no account most of my life

But I been converted and now I got the spirit

So there’s a chance I gonna see this paradise

 

When I get to heaven preachers tell me

I get a halo some wings and a harp

That’s well and good

But what I do hear

Is Sister Rosetta Tharpe
