Lyrics

Don't you hear jerusalem moan

Don't you hear jerusalem moan?
Don't never let a chicken get big enough to crow
Don't you hear jerusalem moan?

Don't you hear jerusalem moan?
Don't you hear jerusalem moan?
Thank god there's a heaven and a ringing in my soul and my soul's got free
Don't you hear jerusalem moan?

Well a hard-shell preacher you can tell him how he do
Well he chews his own tobacco and he drinks his own brew

Well a baptist preacher you can tell him by his coat
Has a bottle in his pocket that he can't hardly tote

Well a cambellite preacher his soul is saved
Well he has to be baptized every other day

Well the holy roller preacher he sure is a sight
Well he gets em all a-rolling and he kicks out the light

Well the presbyterian preacher he lives in town
His neck's so stiff he can't hardly look around
