It was a hot Suday morning, middle of July

The choir was a singin', 'bout the sweet by and by. 
 G 
Everybody was a swayin', sweatin' in the heat.

We all bowed our heads down, as the preacher took his seat 
G                           G    D        
My sister and my brother stood next to my mother

My sister rolled her eyes back My brother bit his lip 
D 
My cousin just behind us Whispered, "Hey, who let it rip?

Lord, you could hear a pin dropAs we stood there in the pew 
G             G      D          D       G                  G    A
