Down by the tabernacle, oh, where the June bugs danced and the lemonade flowed
And we prayed and we sang till the sun sank low, laughing with our sisters and [C] brothers
[G] Down by the tabernacle, hey, where you knew you were loved and you wanted to stay
[D] Though the Texas heat was like Judgment Day, [G] we always enjoyed each other
[D] Well, we went to the river and some were [G] baptized, clapped our hands and testified
[D] Then we passed around the chicken and buttermilk [C] pie, and nothing ever [G] tasted better
[D] Then the kids played ball and the babies just played
[G] While the old man napped out under the shade
[D] And the women picked flowers and sipped lemonade
[C] And sat around talking [D] together
[G]
