  			       Bm      G      D          
Well I threw myself a party  
             Bm       G     D 
Well, it was just the other day  
        Bm          G            D 
Well my wife wasn't there but my old buddies were  
           Bm       G       D 
'Cause somebody was goin' away 
          Bm            G          D 
Well I've lived in this town for a lifetime  
         Bm             G         D 
And I've sinned from beginning to Z  
        Bm          G         D   
And the preacher at our congregation  
        Bm          G        D  
He knew just how to get into me	 
 
 
Well he'd stand there so high on his pulpit  
And I knew when he talked of my soul  
But that preacher he died there 
With all of my lies  
 
 
Chorus: 
       D         G                  D 
And my sins went with him when they put him in the hole 
   D         G                  D 
My sins went with him when they put him in the hole   
     D        G             Bm 
Well bIess my heart let the good times roll  
   D         G                  D      
My sins went with him when they put him in the hole     
 
 
Well he drove a Ford Fiesta  
What the hell kinda car is that  
Well he'd drive around here tryin' to flush out a queer  
Or the man that ran over his cat      
But his heart couldn't take all the pressure  
Tryin' to find what I already know  
And my face has gone pious to cheshire  
 
Chorus 
 
Instrumental 
     
Well the new preacher he is a young man  
And he don't speak as much from the book  
And my wife doesn't like that about him  
But he makes up for that with his looks     
So she stares up at him every Sunday  
And in her eyes I can see all the lust  
But I guess that I can't be complaining  
'Cause it was me that has broken our trust     
So I hope she lives long or gets lucky  
And he passes before she gets old  
Then she won't have to worry 'bout nothin'  
 
 
Chorus 2: 
'Cause her sins will go with him when they put him in a hole  
Her sins will go with him when they put him in the hole  
Well bless her heart; let fhe good times roll  
'Cause her sins will go with him when they put him in the hole  
 
Well bless our hearts; let the good times roll  
'Cause our sins will go with him when they put him in the hole      
Our sins will go with him when they put him in the hole
