[Verse 1]
A
Hello, Mrs. Johnson you self-righteous woman..
D
Sunday School teacher, what brings you out slumming?
A D
Do you reckon the preacher would approve where you are,
A E
standing here visiting with a back-sliding Christian
A
in a neighborhood bar?
[Verse 2]
E A
Well, yes that's my bottle and yes that's my glass.
D
And I see you're eye-balling this pretty young lass.
A D
It ain't none of your business, but yes, she's with me.
A E
And we don't need no sermon, you self-righteous woman,
A
just let us be.
[Chorus]
D A
The Lord knows I'm drinking, and running around.
D E
And He don't need your loud mouth, informing the town.
D A
The Lord knows I'm sinning, and sinning ain't right.
E
But me and the Good Lord's gonna have us a good talk,
A
later tonight.
[Interlude]
A E A
[Verse 3]
A
Goodbye Mrs. Johnson, you self-righteous biddy.
D
I don't need your preaching, and I don't need your pity.
A D
So, go back to whatever you hypocrites do.
A E
And when I talk to Heaven, be nice, and I'll put in a good
A
word for you.
[Chorus]
D A
The Lord knows I'm drinking, and running around.
D E
And He don't need your loud mouth, informing the town.
D A
The Lord knows I'm sinning, and sinning ain't right.
E
But me and the Good Lord's gonna have us a good talk,
D A
later tonight.
