Songtext von White Little Church

Everybody in their Sunday best Took at least an hour just to get dressed Gazin' at the blue sky, pullin' at my necktie Dreamin' 'bout the fishin' hole and playin' ball, yeah Standin' on a wooden pew so I could see Singin' from a hymnal with my family Then it caught my eye, Mama started to cry As she sang along with I Surrender All In a little white church On the banks of a river Outside that backroad Texas town Went there lost but left there delivered That red clay dirt was sacred ground Oh, I heard it first On the banks of a river In a Texas town In a little white country church Listenin' to the church choir sing a gospel song Smilin' as the old men try to sing along Babies in the church there cryin' durin' the prayer Never has there been a sweeter place to be Than in a little white church On the banks of a river Outside that backroad Texas town Went there lost but left there delivered That red clay dirt was sacred ground Oh, I heard it first On the banks of a river In a Texas town In a little white country church I still recall Kneeling at that altar Down on my knees Please, Jesus, help me In a little white church On the banks of a river Outside that backroad Texas town Went there lost but left there delivered That red clay dirt was sacred ground Oh, I heard it first In a little white church On the banks of a river Outside that backroad Texas town Went there lost but left there delivered That red clay dirt was sacred ground Oh, I heard it first On the banks of a river In a Texas town In a little white country church On the banks of a river In a Texas town In a little white country church
