I'M BUILDING A MANSION IN HEAVEN
(Don Reno / Red Smiley)

Don Reno, Red Smiley & The Tennessee Cut-Ups - 1953
The Easter Brothers - 1980



I'm building a mansion in Heaven on high
It'll be my reward by-and-by
I'm sending a pillar/pillow (?) each day of my life
And the deed will be mine when I die

The things that I do in this life here below
By praying and lending a hand
Will all be recorded in God's book of life
For my mansion in heaven so grand

(Instrumental Break)

I want to invite all the angels up there
And loved ones who've gone on before
We'll have a reunion in Heaven that day
In my mansion that's built on God's shore

The things that I do in this life here below
By praying and lending a hand
Will all be recorded in God's book of life
For my mansion in heaven so grand
