Working On A Building Lyrics - Singles - Marleys Ghost

Traditional 

(Chorus) 

I'm working on a building, I'm working on a building, 

I'm working on a building for my Lord, for my Lord! 

It's a Holy Ghost building, it's the Holy Ghost building, 

It's a Holy Ghost building, for my Lord, for my Lord! 

(Chorus) 

If I was a preaching man, I tell you what I'd do: 

I'd preach the truth throughout the land 

and work on a building, too. 

If I was a carpenter I tell you what I'd do: 

I'd work all day and work all night 

just to work on the building, too. 

(Chorus) 

If I was a ramblin' man, I tell you what I'd do: 

I'd stop my rambling, stop my gambling, 

and work on a building, too. 

If I was gambling man, I tell you what I'd do: 

I'd throw away the Queen of Spades 

and work on a building, too. 

(Chorus) 

If I was a sinner man, I tell you what I'd do: 

I'd stop my sinning, start my praying, 

and work on a building, too. 

(Chorus) 

(Chorus)
