Lyrics
Wild West Church of God
© Ambrose-Watson
The year was 1882, A white church next to a red saloon
Made up the whole downtown of that nameless place
Till someone in the Sunday choir backed into a candle and started a fire
The church burned down, the preacher left town that day
The people started packin, but the sheriff, he said whoa!
I’ve had one year of divinity school and there’s one place we can go
It was the birth of what we know as the
Ch Wild West Church of God, can I get an amen and a big yee haw
Shout out the gospel truth, communion here is 90 proof
But there’s amazing grace here in the only place
You can get baptized in a watering trough
At the Wild West Church of God
When they see it on a Saturday night some people think it just aint right
To have church in here, but we think it’s fine
And tomorrow we’ll all be delivered right here by the banks of the red rock river
So tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1899
Lets all go back in time to the
Br There aint no pews, brother pull up a stool
The organ’s long gone, so lets all sing a ragtime gospel song
Yeah get yer salvation on at the
Tag Wild West Church of God
