The Benediction (Country Preacher) |
| Weary feet on a dusty road |
| Country preacher comes to save your soul |
| Just after day break on each Sunday morning |
| You could see women, men, and children piling out |
| Of their homes in their Sunday go to meetin' clothes |
| «Ah uum» |
| Making their way up that long steep hill |
| To the house of the Lord to get their hearts fixed |
| And their minds regulated looking forward to hear |
| The word brought down from on high from the |
| Country preacher |
| Country preacher clears his throat |
| Say brothers and sister we are gather here this mornin' |
| To give praise to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost |
| «Ah uum» |
| Mama’s getting happy, Grandma’s fanning her face |
| Cause everybody everybody’s losing all their weariness in this place |
| Oh the spirit flowed like a mighty river |
| And all anybody could say at the end of the day was |
| «Ah uum» |
