Go Home and Pray

Cat. #1572 (MFH #1035) - As sung by Burl Harvey, Fayetteville, Arkansas on August 18, 1975

VERSE 1
While drinking alone in a tavern one day
So drunk, that I hardly could see
I heard a voice calling me, so loud and clear
Here's what this voice said to me

CHORUS:
Go home, go home
Kneel down by your bedside an' pray
Go home, go home
God'll answer your prayers today

VERSE 2
Well, I staggered across th room to th door
I almost fell on th floor
I know there was laughter but I did not care
For th same word still rang in my ears

VERSE 3
Now, I sobered my mind an' He saved my soul
He erased my thoughts from all fears
An' back to th tavern I preached on each word
Th same words that rang in my ears
