CHORUS:
I'm workin, on th buildin'
Workin' on th buildin'
Workin' on th buildin'
For my Lord, for my Lord
VERSE 1
If I were a preacher
Tell you what I would do
I'd keep on preachin'
And work on th buildin' too
VERSE 2
Get th Holy Ghost childring
Get th Holy Ghost childring
Get th Holy Ghost childring
An' work on th buildin' too
VERSE 3
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 Ollie said, she made a mistake. It should be Preacher, Gambler, Drunkard.
