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