If I should go first and leave you behind
To face life alone just bear this in mind
I'll be a waitin' if heaven's my fate
To take you by the hand just inside the pearly gate
Will there be sweethearts in heaven
After we cross the line
If the angels have sweethearts
Then I'll want you for mine
[ fiddle ]
I'd be a tramp and sleep in the street
Or I'd be a beggar with rags on my feet
If I knew for sure when the time comes to part
Someday in heaven you'll be my sweetheart
Will there be sweethearts in heaven...
