THE LORD KNOWS I'M DRINKING

Recorded by Cal Smith

Words and music by Bill Anderson

CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: A/PLAY: G

[NC] Hello Mrs. [G] Johnson, you self-righteous woman

Sunday School [C] teacher, what brings you out slummin'

Do you reckon the [G] preacher would approve where you [C] are

Standin' here, [G] vis'tin' with a back-slidin' [D7] christian,

In a neighborhood [G] bar.

[G] Well, yes, that's my bottle and yes, that's my glass

And I see you're eye-[C] ballin', this pretty young lass

It ain't none of your [G] bus'ness, but yes, she's with [C] me

And we don't need no [G] sermon, you self-righteous [D7] woman,

Just let us [G] be.

CHORUS

The Lord knows I'm [C] drinkin'; (the Lord knows I'm drinkin')

And runnin' a-[G] round; (and runnin' around)

And He don't need your [C] loud mouth informin' the [D7] town

The Lord knows I'm [C] sinnin'; (the Lord knows I'm sinnin')

And sinnin' ain't [G] right; (and sinnin' ain't right)

But me and the [D7] Good Lord's gonna have us a good talk

Later to-[G] night.

Goodbye, Mrs. Johnson, you self-righteous biddy

I don't need your preachin', 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.

CHORUS
