The Big One Lyrics - Singles - Confederate Railroad

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 

And 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
