Church By The Side Of The Road

C
Well my daddy was a drunkard


Momma taught for the Lord


Granny took me to Sunday School

       G7                        C
To the church by the side of the road



And I’m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city

       G7                        C
To the church by the side of the road



This church it wasn’t modern


It was built of log and clay


But you could see my Jesus there

      G7            C
As we knelt down to pray



And I’m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city

       G7                        C
To the church by the side of the road



Well time has came between us


And the years have come and gone


I’m a-leaving here tomorrow

     G7            C
I’ve been away too long



And I’m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city

       G7                        C
To the church by the side of the road
