The Lord Knows I’m Drinking Lyrics By Cal Smith

    hello mrs johnson you selfrighteous woman
    sunday school teacher what brings you out slumming
    do you reckon the preacher would approve where you are
    standing here visiting with a backsliding 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 selfrighteous 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’s gonna have us a good talk
    later tonight

    goodbye mrs johnson you selfrighteous 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
