Them were Mary and Martha in the garden
Waterin' of the witherin' plants
Sister Mary took wings of the eagle
Sailed away to Galilee
Oh Mary, may I go up with you?
Oh Mary, may I go up with you,
Where you're goin' up yonder?
REFRAIN: House done built without hands, up yonder
House done built without hands, who told you?
House done built without hands, Jesus told me
House done built without hands, walk in
House done built without hands, walk in
House done built without hands, sit down
House done built without hands, sit down
House done built without hands, with The Father
House done built without hands, and The Son
House done built without hands, talk about
House done built without hands, where you from?
House done built without--
Oh, Mary, may I go up with you?
Oh Mary, may I go up with you?
