Rose Maddox – Empty Mansion lyrics

(C.A. Lutrell - J.B. Karnes)

There's a mansion now empty just waiting for me
At the end of life's travel someway
Many friends and dear loved ones will welcome me there
Near the door of that mansion someday.

Here I labor and toil as I look for a home
Just a numble of gold 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 travel someway
Many friends and dear loved ones will welcome me there
Near the door of that mansion someday.

--- Instrumental ---

When my labor and toiling have ended below
And by hand shall I hold it in rest
I'll exchange this old home for a mansion up there
And invited up angel as guest.

There's a mansion now empty just waiting for me
At the end of life's travel someway
Many friends and dear loved ones will welcome me there
Near the door of that mansion someday...
