GUEST,Felipa Lyr Req: Depression Era Songs (104* d) Lyr Add: NO DEPRESSION IN HEAVEN (Carter Family) 19 Oct 16


I don't see "NO DEPRESSION (IN HEAVEN)" on this thread yet?

1. For fear the hearts of men are failing
For these are latter days we know
The great depression now is spreading
God's word declared it would be so

CHORUS: I'm goin' where there's no depression
To the lovely land that's free from care
I'll leave this world of toil and trouble
My home's in heaven; I'm going there

2. In that bright land there'll be no hunger
No orphan children crying for bread
No weeping widows, toil or struggle
No shrouds, no coffins and no death

3. This dark hour of midnight nearin'
Tribulation time will come
The storm will hurl a midnight fear
And sweep lost millions to their doom
