Southern Fried Singin’ Sunday Mornin’ – Bobby Goldsboro
By
There’s a little country church down a little country road Near a little country town where I was born In this little country church there’s some good old country people And you can hear them singing every Sunday morn And a feeling starts to swell when I hear that Sunday bell ‘Cause it takes me back to times when things were slow And a man can’t help but pray when that organ starts to play And it takes me back to days of long ago
To a southern fried singin’ Sunday morning When a man would smile and shake his neighbour’s hand On a southern fried singin’ Sunday morning How I wish that I could be back home again
People used to gather round for a picnic on the ground And the Reverend he would preach the Holy Word And we’d all look to the sky And we’d lift our voices high And it seemed that we got closer to the Lord
On a southern fried singin’ Sunday morning When a man would smile and shake his neighbour’s hand On a southern fried singin’ Sunday morning How I wish that I could be back home again
Every Sunday we would practice golden ruling And we’d all chip in to lend a helping hand And children always got their Sunday schooling And they taught us how to love our fellow man Now the days go much too fast And you can’t live in the past And it seems that home’s a million miles away But when things are getting rough And the going gets too tough I just drift away to dreams of yesterday
To a southern fried singin’ Sunday morning When a man would smile and shake his neighbour’s hand On a southern fried singin’ Sunday morning How I wish that I could be back home again
On a southern fried singin’ Sunday morning When a man would smile and shake his neighbour’s hand On a southern fried singin’ Sunday morning How I wish that I could be back home again
