Well my daddy was a drunkard Momma taught for the lord Granny took me to sunday school To the church by the side of the road
And i’m telling you my jesus came from the golden city To the church by the side of the road This church it wasn’t modern It was built of log and clay But you could see my jesus there As we knelt down to pray
Well time has came between us And the years have come and gone I’m a-leaving here tomorrow I’ve been away too long
