Subject: ADD Version: Home In That Rock
Home In That Rock (from the singing of Laura Duncan)
I've got a home in-a that rock, don't you see? I've got a home in-a that rock, don't you see? Up between the earth and sky, Thought I heard my Savior cry: "You've got a home in-a that rock, don't you see?"
Poor man Lazarus poor as I, don't you see? Poor man Lazarus, poor as I, don't you see? Poor man Lazarus, poor as I, When he died he found a Home on High, He had a Home in that Rock, don't you see?
Rich man Dives lived so well, don't you see? Rich man Dives lived so well, don't you see? Rich man Dives lived so well, When he died he found a Home in Hell, Had no Home in—a that Rock, don't you see?
God gave Noah the rainbow sign, don't you see? Don't you see? God gave Noah the rainbow sign, don't you see? Don't you see? God gave Noah the rainbow sign, No more water - - but fire next time, Noah had a Home in that Rock, don't you see?
(Tag ending): And I've got a Home in that Rock, Don't you see, don't you see, Son't you see, don't you see?

The tune isn't exactly the same as the Carter Family version.
