The Tragically Hip - Reformed Baptist Blues lyrics

Reformed baptist blues

Comely woman why you treating me this way?
Got religion instead of loving
Now you're praying
You know I know I was everything you need
Traded good times for a reverend's guarantees

I ain't no preaching man don't
Know what to do i got those slowly sinking
Reformed baptist blues

Now you wake me when I should be sleeping in
Drag me out to your place of worshipping
Missed the football now for six
Weeks in a row
It's depressing to this man from golden door

I ain't no preaching man
Don't know what to do
I got those slowly sinking
Reformed baptist blues

Absolution is a bummer I have found
Re baptism is just another way to drown
God's salvation doesn't interest me at all
Found the answer at the bottom of a bottle

Now you curse me every time I tell a lie
Trade my gold chains for starched
Black pants and ties
Can't beseech you that our
Marriage is a fraud
Can't get screwed around when the
Other guy is God

I ain't no preaching man
Don't know what to do
I got those slowly sinking
Reformed baptist blues
I got those slowly sinking
Reformed baptist blues
I got those slowly sinking
Reformed baptist blues wooo hoo!
