The Lord Know I'm Drinking (1972)
Hello Mrs. Johnson, you self-righteous woman
Sunday school teacher, what brings you out slumming?
Do you reckon the preacher would approve where you are?
Standing here visiting with a back sliding Christian in a neighborhood bar
Well yes thatâs my bottle, and yes thatâs my glass
And I see you eyeballing, this pretty young lass
It ainât none of your business but yes sheâs with me
And we donât need no sermon you self righteous woman just let us be
The lord knows Iâm drinking, and running around
And he donât need your loud mouth informing the town
The lord knows Iâm sinning, and sinning ainât right
But me and the good lordâs gonna have us a good talk later tonight
Goodbye Mrs. Johnson, you self-righteous bitty
I donât need your preaching and I donât need your pity
So go back to whatever, you hypocrites do
And when I talk to heaven, be nice and Iâll put in a good word for you
The lord knows Iâm drinking, and running around
And he donât need your loud mouth informing the town
The lord knows Iâm sinning, and sinning ainât right
But me and the good lordâs gonna have us a good talk later tonight
