George Jones & Tammy Wynette - Talkin About Jesus lyrics

[Verse 1: George Jones] There was a church just down the road Where mom and dad they used to go Carry us when we were young Boy we had a lot to learn Talking 'bout Jesus, talking 'bout Jesus Folks would come from miles around Spread their food up on the ground Then turn thanks with the word of prayer Thank the Lord that we were there Talking 'bout Jesus, talking 'bout Jesus [Hook: George Jones & Tammy Wynette] Oh why can't we talk more aout Jesus today? Like we did in the country on the farm where I grew up? Oh why can't we keep in mind that he died for us one time? Don't live for the devil but live by the holy book [Verse 2: Tammy Wynette] There was old John from down the raod He beieved in saving souls He went around the country preaching hard They wouldn't let him in so he stood in the yard Talking 'bout Jesus, talking 'bout Jesus Now old John is dead and gone But his spirit lingers on Wiping the sweat up off his brow I can still see him right now Talking 'bout Jesus, talking 'bout Jesus [Hook: George Jones & Tammy Wynette] (x2) Don't live for the devil but live by the holy book
