CHORUS:
I'm workin, on th buildin'
Workin' on th buildin'

For my Lord, for my Lord

If I were a preacher
Tell you what I would do
I'd keep on preachin'
And work on th buildin' too

Get th Holy Ghost childring
Get th Holy Ghost childring

If I were a gambler
Tell you what I would do
Quit my gamblin'
An' work on th buildin' too

Same as above for Drunkard
