Heavenly Houseboat Blues lyrics

By townes van zandt

I'm building a houseboat in heaven
To sail those deep and holy seas
I'm building a houseboat in heaven
And it's welcome aboard you sweet peace

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/townes_van_zandt/heavenly_houseboat_blues.html ]
The bow she is made of solid silver
And the hall she is made of solid gold
She ain't much long the line's a-floating
But she's yours, babe, to have and to hold


I rode my old guitar to heaven
But heaven didn't feel too much like home
So I'm headed out on to them lonesome oceans
In my rubystudded houseboat to roam
