The House Down the Block

The house my family lives in, just down the block
Many times I passed there but I never stop
I go on all alone a-wishin' I could be
In that house, down the block with my family

When we meet upon the street, I just bow my head
They don't know how often I wish that I was dead
To our name I brought a shame, still I long to be
In that house, down the block with my family

When Gabriel blows his trumpet and time will be no more
Then mem'ries fade my daddy's faith, I'll walk up to the door
The tears that fall won't start at all and God will let me be
In that house, down the block with my family
