An Empty Mansion Songtext
von Alan Ladd

Here I labor and toil as I look for a home
Just a humble abode among men
While in Heaven a mansion is waiting for me
And the gentle voice pleading come in
There′s a mansion now empty just waiting for me
At the end of life's troublesome way
Many friends and dear loved ones will welcome me there Near the door of that mansion some day
When my labor and toiling have ended below
And my hands shall lie folded in rest
I′ll exchange this old home for a mansion up there
And invite the archangel as guest
There's a mansion now empty...
