Text
I got a home in-a dat rock, don't you see?
Way between the earth and sky
thought I heard my Savior cry!
I got a home in-a dat rock, don' you see?
Poor man Lazarus, poor as I,
When he died he had a home on high!
He had a home in-a dat rock, don' you see?
Rich man Divies lived so well,
When he died he had a home in Hell!
He had no home in-a dat rock, don' you see?
God gave Noah the rainbow sign
No more water but the fire next time
Better get a home in-a dat rock, don' you see?
