Lyrics
For fear the hearts of men are failing
For these are latter days we know
The Great Depression now is spreading
God's word declared it would be so
I'm going where there's no depression
To the lovely land that's free from care
I'll leave this world of toil and trouble
My home's in Heaven, I'm going there
In that bright land, there'll be no hunger
No orphan children cryin' for bread
No weeping widows, toil or struggle
No shrouds, no coffins, and no death
This dark hour of midnight nearing
And tribulation time will come
The storms will hurl in midnight fear
And sweep lost millions to their doomDemo Videos
About This Song
No Depression in Heaven is a Carter Family classic from 1936 that became an anthem during the Great Depression. The Stanley Brothers' version brought it firmly into bluegrass tradition, and it remains a staple at jams and festivals. The song's title inspired the alt-country movement and magazine of the same name in the 1990s.
