Oh Heab’m I’m Heab’m bound
Ain’t got long to stay heah;
Oh Heab’m I’m Heab’m bound
Ain’t got long to stay heah;

Religion’s lak a bloomin’ rose;
Aint got long to stay heah,
An’ only them that has it knows;
Aint got long to stay heah.

Oh Heab’m I’m Heab’m bound,
Aint got long to stay heah.
Oh Heab’m I’m Heab’m bound,
Aint got long to stay heah.

Ah Jerdon’s stream is deep an’ col’;
Aint got long to stay heah,
It chills the fame, but not the soul;
Aint got long to stay heah.

Oh Heab’m I’m Heab’m bound,
Aint got long to stay heah.
Oh Heab’m I’m Heab’m bound,
Aint got long to stay heah.
