When I Take My Vacation In Heaven Lyrics - Johnny Cash

There are those who are taking vacations 

To the mountains the lakes and the sea 

Where they rest from their cares and their troubles 

What a wonderful time that must be 

But it seems not my lot to be like them 

I must toil through the heat and the cold 

Seekin' out the lost sheep on a mountain 

Bringing wanderers back to the fold 

But when I take my vacation in Heaven 

What a wonderful time that will be 

Hearing concerts by the Heavenly chorus 

And the face of my Saviour I'll see 

Sitting down on the banks of the river 

'Neath the shade of the evergreen tree 

There I'll rest from my burdens forever 

Won't you take your vacation with me
