That Old Bourbon Street Church - Jerry Lee Lewis

That old Bourbon Street church can’t quench your thirst

Like the whiskey or the cheap sweet wine

But it’s a place that you can go when you’re drunk, lonely and cold

Till the cobwebs of liquor clear your mind

Well, that old Bourbon Street church has seen the best and the worst

But it’s even saved a few lost souls, I can’t see that one is mine

Old Bourbon Street church, my God, it can’t quench your thirst

But it’s sure been a friend to this lonesome soul of mine

Yes, it has

Your dirty old clothes won’t bother the Lord

'Cause he’s used to the smell of that wine, think about it

And to the Lord a skid row’s soul is worth more than a rich man’s gold

And when he saves one, oh, he knows he’s a millionaire

Oh, that old Bourbon Street church has seen the best and it’s seen the worst

It’s even saved a few lost souls but God I can’t see that one is mine

Old Bourbon Street church, woo, can’t quench your thirst

But it’s sure been a friend to a sinful soul

It’s sure been a friend to a sinful soul

I’m talkin' about an old damn sinful soul like mine

That old Bourbon Street church, yeah
