Working on a Building

1
If I was a sinner man well I’d tell you what I would do
5 1
I’d quit my sinnin’ and I’d work on a building too

1
I’m a working on a building
I’m a working on a building
I’m a working on a building
5 1
For my lord for my lord

It’s a holy ghost building
It’s a holy ghost building
It’s a holy ghost building
For my lord for my lord

If I was a gambler I’d tell you what I’d do
I’d quit my gamblin’ and I’d work on a building too

If I was a preacher well I’d tell you what I would do
I’d keep on preaching and I’d work on a building too
