Have you heard the many a story. Told by old and young with joy. 'Bout the many deeds of daring. That was done by the Johnson boys. That was done by the Johnson boys.
Joy bells joy bells everlasting joy bells I can hear them ringing while the hallelujahs roll. Joy bells joy bells heavenly joy bells keep the joy beels ringin' down in my soul.

There will come a time some morning when all the saints will rise and shine. Hallelujah praise the Lord it won't be long. Up to that happy home in glory where the souls shall never die.
We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout. We've been talkin' bout Jackson ever since the fire went out. I'm goin' to Jackson gonna mess around.
Go away from my window, leave at your own chosen speed. I'm not the one you want, babe, I'm not the one you need. You say you're looking for someone never weak but always strong.
Little girl you stand out in the crowd. You're laughing and talking much too loud. But I see a little tear peaking through. It takes one to know one and I know you.
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady. Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby. If a thinker was my trade would you still find me. Carrying the pots I made following behind me.
Is it too late now to tell you that I love you. Or is there still a chance for me somehow. Oh they tell me now that you have found another. Darlin' please don't say it's too late now.
Oh, I was standing by the bedside. Where my fevered mother lay. When she called me close beside her. And I thought I heard her say. . I've just seen the rock of ages.
How many years how many rollin' stones above. Liky a Gypsy I have roamed from place to place. Fortune never came to me how happy I would be. Just to look again upon your smiling face.
Our meeting's a pleasure. And parting is grief. But a false hearted lover. Is worse than a thief. . A thief can but rob you. And take what you save. But a false hearted lover.
I'm waiting to hear you call me darling. I'm waiting to hear you call me dear. You know that I have always loved you. Don't make me lonely all these years.
Each day I get so lonely while living here below. My Saviours waiting patiently, I'm planning soon to go. I'm on a firm foundation thats built with Gods own hand.
I'm on my way to Canaan's land. I'm on my way to Canaan's land. I'm on my way to Canaan's land. I'm on my way, praise the Lord, I'm on my way. . If sister don't go, it won't hinder me.
Oh I was lost in the darkness and I wandered astray. With no one to help me see along on my way. Until I heard Jesus calling saying. Come unto me and I'm traveling on and on.
Tonight I'm all alone, no place to call my own. Don't have no one to love me anymore. I'm gonna pack up my grip and take a long, long trip. Back to the one that I love so.
For many long years through this world I have roamed. Not thinking of the day last to come. But now I have changed, and I want the world to know. That I'm going to make heaven my home.
