That Old Bourbon Street Church Lyrics


Jerry Lee Lewis That Old Bourbon Street Church

That old Bourbon Street church can't quench your thirst
Like the whiskey or the cheap sweet wine
But it's a place that you can go when you're drunk, lonely and cold
Till the cobwebs of liquor clear your mind

Well, that old Bourbon Street church has seen the best and the worst
But it's even saved a few lost souls, I can't see that one is mine
Old Bourbon Street church, my God, it can't quench your thirst
But it's sure been a friend to this lonesome soul of mine
Yes, it has
Your dirty old clothes won't bother the Lord
'Cause he's used to the smell of that wine, think about it
And to the Lord a skid row's soul is worth more than a rich man's gold
And when he saves one, oh, he knows he's a millionaire

Oh, that old Bourbon Street church has seen the best and it's seen the worst
It's even saved a few lost souls but God I can't see that one is mine
Old Bourbon Street church, woo, can't quench your thirst
But it's sure been a friend to a sinful soul
It's sure been a friend to a sinful soul
I'm talkin' about an old damn sinful soul like mine

That old Bourbon Street church, yeah
