Daddy wondered how
The bills would get paid
Mama said, honey
Don't worry, keep in faith
People go and pray about it
When the sun goes down
At the little country church
In that little country town

There's a whole lotta preachin'
There's a lotta good singin'
Where the soul gets saved
To the church bell ringin'
People all come from miles around
To the little country church
In that little country town

There's a cake in the oven
There's a chicken on the grill
A coconut piе
Sitting in the windowsill
They're havin' homеcomin'
So, I think I'll go down
Oh, to the little country church
In that little country town
There's a whole lotta preachin'
There's a lotta good singin'
Where the soul gets saved
To the church bell ringin'
People all come from miles around
To the little country church
In that little country town

There's a cake in the oven
There's a chicken on the grill
There's a coconut pie
Sitting in the windowsill
They're havin' homecomin'
So, I think I'll go down
To an all-day singin'
With dinner on the ground

There's a whole lotta preachin'
There's a lotta good singin'
Where the soul gets saved
To the church bell ringin'
People all come from miles around
To the little country church
In that little country town
Oh, to the little country church
In that little country town
