Be sure to see the crosslinked threads for other versions. Here's the one I learned, the Weavers version:

Home In That Rock

I've got a home in that rock, don't you see? (don't you see?)
I've got a home in that rock, don't you see? (don't you see?)
Between the earth and sky,
Thought I heard my Savior cry:
"Better get a home in that rock, don't you see?"

Rich man Dives, he lived so well, don't you see, don't you see, (twice)
Rich man Dives lived so well, when he died he had a home in hell,
He had no home in that rock, don't you see.

Poor man Lazarus, poor as I, don't you see, don't you see, (twice)
Poor man Lazarus, poor as I, when he died he had a home on high,
He had a home in that rock, don't you see.

God gave Noah the rainbow sign, don't you see, don't you see, (twice)
God gave Noah the rainbow sign, no more water but fire next time,
You better get a home in that rock, don't you see.

Better get a home in that rock, don't you see, don't you see, (twice)
Between the earth and sky, thought I heard my Saviour cry
Better get a home in that rock, don't you see.
