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 doom. Demo 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.
