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» |
