Lyrics Ernest Tubb

Ernest Tubb

Lord Knows I'm Drinking

Hello Mrs Johnson

You self righteous woman

Sunday school teacher

What brings you out slummin'

Do you reckon the preacher

Would approve where you are?

Standing here visitin' with a back slidin'

Christian in a neighborhood bar

Well yes, that's my bottle

And yes that's my glass

And I see you're eye balling

This pretty young lass

It ain't none of your business

But yes she's with me

And we don't need no sermon

You self righteous woman just let us be

The Lord knows I'm drinking

And running around

And he don't need your loud mouth

Informing the town

The Lord knows I'm sinning

And sinning ain't right

But me and the good Lord

Gonna have us a good talk later tonight

Goodbye Mrs Johnson

You self righteous biddy

I don't need your preaching

And I don't need your pity

So go back to whatever

You hypocrites do

And when I talk to heaven be nice

And I'll put in a good word for you

The Lord knows I'm drinking

And running around

And he don't need your loud mouth

Informing the town

The Lord knows I'm sinning

And sinning ain't right

But me and the good Lord

Gonna have us a good talk later tonight

Yes me and the good Lord

Gonna have us a good talk later tonight
