Going back a long way....... Seems to me like this song was written (called "I HAVE A Clear Title To Heaven) by someone whose name I am not totally sure of, but I believe it was something like Rube Perkins. Anyone else remember this?

There is an interesting twist to this song. There is a man in my town (Heber Springs Arkansas) who claims he wrote this song, and it was stolen from him. From what I know, he has tried to regain the legal rights to it with no sucess. He says he has an early recording of it that he sent home while he was in World War II which should be sufficient proof. I wonder if anything will ever come of it; the man is getting quite elderly.

and another verse:

We've traveled through the valley together
We've gone through the heat and the cold
We've watched as our friends went before us
To join in that heavenly fold
Someday we will meet them in glory
and talk with the prophets of old
The treasures that are waiting in heaven
down here have never been told

My Father Charles Anderson singed this song every where he went.. Since 1960.. Never knew who wrote it.. One lady claimed too but she was about 3 years old at that time my Dad started singing it... Dad use to tell me a blind black lady wrote it..I remember my MOM giving people copies all over the United States..My Father had a deep bass voice and sung this song SLOWLY.. Now a blue grass bands sings it.. Makes me laugh because its so fast..Yes there is a third verse

Clear title
(G )I,ve heard people talk about heaven and (G7 )describe (C) its beauty so rare(G) .So one day I purchased a title to a (A) mansion in that land so (D) fair.
(G) It was given to me without, but it cost (G7) my dear Savior his (G).
He died on the cross just to save (Em), for(D)me He paid 9D) A GREAT (G) price.CHORUS.(G) Now I hold a clear title to a mansion that(G) Jesus has gone to (D) prepare. Fire cannot touch it floods cannot harm it and it (A) never will need a (D) repair.(G) The termites can't move its foundation,(G7) for on the rock of ages it(G) stands.I feel its almost completed(Em) and(A) ready for me to move(G) in. I hope this helps .John
