Happy As Can Be

As I lay here livin'
Pain from head to feet
Death gon’ get me good one day
But now my heart still beat
Long as my world spinnin’
I refuse to be
Dead while I’m still livin’
I’m as happy as can be

Happy as can be
Happy as can be
Long as I'm still livin'
I'm as happy as can be

Then when I cross over
Don't be sad for me
Dust to dust my body go
But oh my soul is free
Swing low sweet chariot
Come on carry me
I was happy on this earth
But oh joy in glory
Yes I’ll be

Happy as can be
Happy as can be
On the streets of glory
I'll be happy as can be

Happy as can be
Oh my soul is free
Oh my soul is free
And I'll be happy as can be

I'm a gator in a swamp
I'm a stallion runnin' free
I'm a honey-butter biscuit
Wit' some chicken and some greens
I'm a wayward son
At my welcome home feast
I'm forgiven I'm forgiven

I'm as happy as can be
Happy as can be
Oh my soul is free
Yes I'm happy as can be

I'm a diva with a song
All the lights on me
I'm a child of the ghetto with a PhD
I'm a bald-headed woman with two weeks to breathe
I'm alive I'm alive
I'm as happy as can be

Happy as can be
Happy as can be
Oh my soul is free
Yes I'm happy as can be
Happy as can be
Happy as can be
Oh my soul is free
Yes I'm happy as can be

Oh happy day (I'm happy, Jesus)
Oh happy day (I'm happy, Lord)
When Jesus washed (I'm happy, Jesus)
My sins away (I'm happy, Lord)
