Jesus Bring me Whiskey

Swing low Sweet Chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low Sweet Chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Well I looked over Jordon,
And what did I see?
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

Well it's been a long time since sober days
It's been a long time since I stopped to pray
It's been a long time since righteous ways
But I\m gonna see the lord today

Jesus Bring me Whiskey
Jesus Bring me Whiskey
Jesus Bring me Whiskey
'coz I ain't had a drink all day

Well I have sinned and I have paid
I had a good woman but she ran away
I had me a ride and a place to stay
But now I ain't got shit

Jesus Bring me Whiskey
Jesus Bring me Whiskey
Jesus Bring me Whiskey
'coz I ain't had a drink all day

bridge:
Might have been a knife gone wrong
Might have stayed for a drink too long
Might have been that
things just went bad that day
In the blood with the sirens howling
Standing there with my head
spinning round and...
Well I could just think of one thing to say

Jesus Bring me Whiskey
Jesus Bring me Whiskey
Jesus Bring me Whiskey
'coz I ain't had a drink all day

Jesus what did I do wrong?
To be livin' this hard life so long
Jesus what can I do for you?
He said, Boy just pour us some Whiskey

Jesus Bring me Whiskey
Jesus Bring me Whiskey
Jesus Bring me Whiskey
'coz I ain't had a drink all day
No I ain't had a drink all day
Lord we ain't had a drink all day
