Lyle Lovett - Church слова песни
I went to church last sundaySo I could sing and prayBut something quite unusualHappened on that dayNow church it started right on timeJust like it does without a doubtAnd everything was all just fineExcept when it came time to let us outYou know the preacher he kept preachingHe told us I have one more thing to sayChildren before you think of leavingYou better think about the judgment dayNow everyone got nervousBecause everyone was hungry tooAnd everyone was wonderingWhat was the next thing he would doAnd the preacher he kept preachingHe said now Ill remind you if I mayYou all better pay attentionOr I might decide to preach all dayAnd now everyone was getting so hungryThat the old ones started feeling illAnd the weak ones started passing outAnd the young ones they could not sit stillAnd the preachers voice rose higherSo I snuck up on the balconyAnd I crept into the choirAnd I begged them brothers, sisters, help me pleaseI said when I give you a signalI said when I raise up my handWont you please join with me togetherAnd praise the lord I have a planAnd the preacher he kept preachingLong is the struggle, hard the fightAnd I prayed, father please forgive meAnd then I stood up and with all my mightI sangTo the lord let praises beIts time for dinner now lets go eatWeve got some beans and some good cornbreadAnd I listened to what the preacher saidNow its to the lord let praised beIts time for dinner now lets go eatYes and I did give a signalYes and I raised up my handsAnd then joined with me the choirYes every woman, child, and manThey sangTo the lord let praised beIts time for dinner now lets go eatWeve got some beans and some good cornbreadAnd Ive listened to what the preacher saidNow its to the lord let praised beIts time for dinner now lets go eatAnd the preacher he stopped preachingAnd a hush the church did fillAnd then a great white dove from up aboveLanded on the window sillAnd the dove flew down beside himAnd a fork appeared right in his handAnd with everybody watchingThe preacher ate that bird right there and thenAnd now everyone got really nervousAnd the preacher he did start to glowAnd as we watched in disbeliefThese were the words he spokeHe said now mamas in the kitchenAnd shes been there all dayAnd I know shes cooking something goodSo lets bow our heads and prayAnd he sangTo the lord let praises beIts time for dinner now lets go eatWeve got some beans and some good cornbreadNow listen to what the preacher saidHe said to the lord let praised beIts time for dinner now lets go eatAnd the moral of this storyChildren it is plain but trueGod knows if a preacher preaches long enoughEven hell get hungry tooAnd hell singTo the lord let praises beIts time for dinner now lets go eatWeve got some beans and some good cornbreadNow listen to what the preacher saidHe said to the lord let praised beIts time for dinner now lets go eat
