There’s more pretty girls than one

There’s more pretty girls than one

Any old town that I ramble around in

There’s more pretty girls than one

Mama talked to me last night

She gave me some good advice

Said that I should quit

This rambling all around

And marry me a sweet loving wife

There’s more pretty girls than one

There’s more pretty girls than one

Any old town that I ramble around in

There’s more pretty girls than one

So look down that old lonesome road

Hang down your head and cry

I’m thinking about all those pretty girls

And hoping that I’ll never die

There’s more pretty girls than one

There’s more pretty girls than one

Any old town that I ramble around in

There’s more pretty girls than one

I’m working on a building, working on a building

Working on a building, For my lord, for my lord

It’s a holy ghost building, its a holy ghost building

A holy ghost building, for my lord, for my lord

If I was sinner I’ll tell you what I’d do

I’d quit all my sinning and I’d work on a building too

I’m working on a building, working on a building

Working on a building, For my lord, for my lord

If I was drunkard, tell you what I’d do

I’d quit all my drinking and I’d work on a building too

I’m working on a building, working on a building

Working on a building, For my lord, for my lord

If I was a preacher I tell you what I’d do

I’d keep on preaching and I’d work on a building too

I’m working on a building, working on a building

Working on a building, For my lord, for my lord

It’s a holy ghost building, its a holy ghost building

A holy ghost building, for my lord, for my lord

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

A long way from home

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near

And I’m a long way from home

Sometimes I feel like I’m almost home

Sometimes I feel like I’m almost home

Sometimes I feel like I’m almost home

Way up in that heavenly land

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

A long way from home
