along..
Folks I bet they ain't a dad-burned dry
eye in the whole church after they listen to this rendition of an old
favorite.
It makes a country boy proud that songs
are still bein' wrote!!!
It was a hot Sunday mornin',
Middle of July
The choir was a singin'
'Bout the sweet by and by.
Everybody was a swayin'
And sweatin' in the heat,
We all bowed our heads down
As the preacher took his seat.
My sister and my brother
Stood next to my mother
In the quiet at the close of the verse.
That's when daddy cut the big one...
At the Horn Lake Mississippi
Missionary Baptist Church.
My sister rolled her eyes back,
My brother bit his lip.
My cousin just behind us
Whispered, "Hey, who let it rip?"
I stuck my face in my shirtsleeve,
Stared down at my shoes.
Lord, you could hear a pin drop,
As we stood there in the pew...
Heads were turnin',
Eyes were burnin',
Momma stuck her nose in her purse,
After daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi
Missionary Baptist Church.
He cut the big one,
It was a stinker.
Then he broke the silence ~
With a snicker
And us kids started laughin',
'Til I thought we was all gonna
burst....
After daddy cut the big one,
At the Horn Lake Mississippi
Missionary Baptist Church.
He said, "The devil made me do it..."
Momma said it was the liverwurst....
And that's why daddy cut the big one,
At the Horn Lake Mississippi
Missionary Baptist Church.
