Hello Mrs. Johnson you self-righteous woman
              C
Sunday School teacher what brings you out slumming
                  G               G7               C
Do you reckon the preacher would approve where you are
              G                            D7
Standing here visiting with a back-sliding Christian
                  G
In a neighborhood bar
 
                                                  
Well yes that's my bottle and yes that's my glass
                     C
And I see you're eye balling this pretty young lass
                      G            G7             C
It ain't none of your business but yes she's with me
                     G                         D7
And we don't need no sermon you self-righteous woman
            G
Just let us be
 
                   C                    G
The Lord knows I'm drinking and running around
                       C                        D7
And He don't need your loud mouth informing the town
                   C                          G
The Lord knows I'm sinning  and sinning ain't right
               D7
But me and the Good Lord's gonna have us a good talk
        G
Later tonight
 
 
Goodbye Mrs. Johnson you self-righteous biddy
                  C
I don't need your preaching and I don't need your pity
                  G        G7         C
So go back to whatever you hypocrites do
                   G                       D7
And when I talk to Heaven be nice and I'll put in
                G
A good word for you
