WHO HEARS THE PARSON
Who hears the parson
Will not hear the bell,
But if he deafly pass on
He will hear of hell.
Will not hear the bell,
But if he deafly pass on
He will hear of hell.
I' faith the people go to church
To leave the devil in the lurch,
But since they've carpeted the pews
To squat with hymn book he doth use.
To leave the devil in the lurch,
But since they've carpeted the pews
To squat with hymn book he doth use.
