Hello Mrs. Johnson, you self righteous biddie 
              D5           
Sunday School teacher, what brings you out slummin? 
                  A5                                D5 
Do you reckon the preacher would approve where you are 
              A5               E5                                        A5  
Standing here visiting with a back-sliding Christian in a neighborhood bar 
 
Well, yes that's my bottle and yes that's my glass 
 
And I see you're eye-ballin' this pretty young lass 
 
Ain't none of your business but yes, she's with me 
 
And we don't need your sermon you self-righteous woman, just let us be 
                         D5                     A5 
Well the Lord knows I'm drinkin' and runnin' around 
                      D5                        E5 
And I don't need your loud mouth informin' the town 
                   D5                         A5 
The Lord knows I'm sinnin' and sinnin' ain't right 
    A5          E5                                             A5  
But me and the good Lord's gonna have us a good talk later tonight  
Solo 
 
Goodbye Mrs. Johnson, you self-righteous biddy 
I don't need your preachin' and I don't need your pity 
So go back to whatever you hypocrites do 
And when I talk to heaven, be nice and I'll put in a good word for you 
 
Chorus
