Confederate Railroad The Big One Lyrics

The Big One Lyrics

It was a hot Sunday mornin'

Middle of July

The choir was a
singin'

'Bout the sweet by and by



Everybody was a swayin'

And
sweatin' in the heat

We all bowed our heads down

As the preacher took
his seat



My sister and my brother stood next to my mother

In the
quiet at the close of the verse

That's when daddy cut the big one

At
the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church



My sister rolled
her eyes back

My brother bit his lip

My cousin just behind
us

Whispered, "Hey, who let it rip?"



I stuck my face in my
shirtsleeve

Stared down at my shoes

Lord, you could hear a pin
drop

As we stood there in the pew

Heads were turnin', eyes were
burnin'



Momma stuck her nose in her purse

After daddy cut the big
one

At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church



He cut
the big one

It was a stinker

Then he broke the silence

With a
snicker

And us kids started laughin'

'Til I thought we was all gonna
burst

After daddy cut the big one

At the Horn Lake Mississippi
Missionary Baptist Church



He said, "The devil made me do it"

Momma
said it was the liverwurst

And that's why daddy cut the big one

At the
Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church
