The Lord Knows I'm Drinking Cal Smith
Hello Mrs. Johns[G]on you self-righteous woman
Sunday School [C]teacher what brings you out slumming
Do you reckon the [G]preacher would a[G7]pprove where you [C]are
Standing here [G]visiting with a back-sliding [D7]Christian
In a neighborhood [G]bar
[G]Well yes that's my bottle and yes that's my glass
And I see you're eye [C]balling this pretty young lass
It ain't none of your [G]business but [G7]yes she's with [C]me
And we don't need no [G]sermon you self-righteous [D7]woman
Just let us [G]be
The Lord knows I'm [C]drinking and running [G]around
And He don't need your [C]loud mouth informing the [D7]town
The Lord knows I'm [C]sinning and sinning ain't [G]right
But me and the [D7]Good Lord's gonna have us a good talk
Later to[G]night
[G]Goodbye Mrs. Johnson you self-righteous biddy
I don't need your [C]preaching and I don't need your pity
So go back to what[G]ever you [G7]hypocrites [C]do
And when I talk to [G]Heaven be nice and I'll [D7]put in
[G]
[D7]A good word for you
The Lord knows I'm [C]drinking and running [G]around
And He don't need your [C]loud mouth informing the [D7]town
The Lord knows I'm [C]sinning and sinning ain't [G]right
But me and the [D7]Good Lord's gonna have us a good talk
Later to[G]night
