[Ab]
Well, he walked into the barroom, raggedy pants and an overcoat.
When at first I saw him, I thought he was a joke.
[Db] When he started preaching, [Ab] I almost dropped my beer.
[Db] I thought John [Eb] the Baptist had [Ab] walked in here.
In his hand he held a Bible, and he had a scary look.
He could quote scriptures without opening the book.
[Db] He wasn't too good looking, he [Ab] wouldn't drive the ladies wild.
[Db] But I'll have to say, [Eb] he damn sure had [Ab] his style.
He said, Heaven's almost big as Texas.
Angels sing like Charlie Pryor.

When he [Eb] prays, there ain't no [Ab] place to hide.

It took a quart of JB to get me over the front.

[D] But if I [E] go to hell, he won't [A] be to blame.
