Hello Mrs.
Johnson, you self-righteous woman, Sunday [D] school teacher, what brings you out slumming?
Do you reckon [A] the preacher would approve [D] where you are, standing [A] here visiting with a [E] backsliding Christian in a [A] neighborhood bar?
Well yes, that's my bottle, yes that's my glass, [Em]
and I see [D] your eyeballing this pretty young lass.
It ain't none of [A] your business, but yes [D] she's with me, and we don't [A] need no sermon, you self [E]-righteous woman, just [A] let us be.
Oh the Lord [D] knows I'm drinking and running [A] around, and He [D] don't need your loud mouth [E] informing the town.
Yes the Lord [D] knows I'm sinning, and [A] sinning ain't right, but me [E] and the good Lord gonna have us a good talk [A] later tonight.
Goodbye Mrs.
Johnson, you self-righteous pity, well I [D] don't need your preaching, and I don't need your pity,
so go back [A] to whatever you [D] hypocrites do.
When I [A] talk to heaven, be nice [E] and I'll put in a good [A] word for you.
Well the Lord [D] knows I'm drinking and [A] running around, and He don't [D] need your loud mouth informing [E] the town.
Oh the Lord [D] knows I'm sinning, and sinning [A] ain't right, but me [E] and the good Lord gonna have us a good talk later [A] tonight.
