Special thanks to the legendary John Valby for lending his inimitable barrelhouse piano!

lyrics

Well I showed up for my Sunday School but I never understood
How God could kill the fishes with a flood
Or why he’d want to kill them anyway
When he knows how they were made

CHORUS

Oh, won’t you pray? (Won’t you pray?) 2x
Won’t you pray for this poor atheist when you reach those pearly gates?
Oh, won’t you pray? (Won’t you pray?) 2x
Won’t you pray for this poor scientist when you reach those pearly gates?

Fiddle Solo

I tried to turn the other cheek but I wound up twice as sore
Tried giving everything away but people just wanted more
And it only got me knifed to pretend
My enemy was my friend

CHORUS

I tried to muster up some shame for all my mortal sins
But cradled in my sweet love’s arms it just wasn’t happening
What kind of God would stock a world with sweets
We’re not supposed to eat?

CHORUS
