about

recorded live at The Foolery, Mt. Pleasant MI summer 1985 by Rob LIghtbody

lyrics

dogsleds, dogsleds in heaven, and dogs to pull them
an eskimo laid low sees dogsleds in heaven

across the endless rain (reign? range?) of ice and snow
I go where I wanna go
I’m riding my dogsled in heaven - riding high, swing low

I got up this morning, granny was gone
she crawled out on the ice to die alone
she was going to meet those dogsleds in heaven
swing low, sweet chariot
