๐ Lyrics
On a lowly night like any other, in a place I'm known to go
To croon a song to a patient throng of folks that you might know
I sang the songs of hard times, hard feelings and hardened hearts
But nothing seemed to grab them until a patron he remarked:
Won't you play it in
G for Jesus
And let your holy spirit show
Keep your pains and your midnight trains
And onto higher ground you'll go
Don't sing the songs about whiskey
And I'm so lonesome that mama tried
Play it in G for Jesus and you might leave this bar alive
So I swallowed hard and scanned the bar
For an exit I might tread
It occurred that I might could see the light
If it meant I could earn my bread
I strummed this chord to the waiting lord
And fixed him in my gaze
And no minor key escaped me
While old Gabrielle's trumpet played
And I played it in
G for Jesus
I let my holy spirit show
I kept my pains and my midnight trains
And onto higher ground I'll go
I won't sing the songs about whiskey
And I'm so lonesome that mama tried
I'll play it in G for Jesus
Though none of us leave this world alive
No you won't leave this world alive
None of us leave this world alive
To croon a song to a patient throng of folks that you might know
I sang the songs of hard times, hard feelings and hardened hearts
But nothing seemed to grab them until a patron he remarked:
Won't you play it in
G for Jesus
And let your holy spirit show
Keep your pains and your midnight trains
And onto higher ground you'll go
Don't sing the songs about whiskey
And I'm so lonesome that mama tried
Play it in G for Jesus and you might leave this bar alive
So I swallowed hard and scanned the bar
For an exit I might tread
It occurred that I might could see the light
If it meant I could earn my bread
I strummed this chord to the waiting lord
And fixed him in my gaze
And no minor key escaped me
While old Gabrielle's trumpet played
And I played it in
G for Jesus
I let my holy spirit show
I kept my pains and my midnight trains
And onto higher ground I'll go
I won't sing the songs about whiskey
And I'm so lonesome that mama tried
I'll play it in G for Jesus
Though none of us leave this world alive
No you won't leave this world alive
None of us leave this world alive
