Lyrics

He was born to be known As everybody's brother He is the Father Son and Mary is his mother He is a 'scuse my slanguage, well a compound country kinda guy Yes he is Ain't no way to get around it, you just can't beat Jesus Christ No you can't Well I used to crank and drank until my back was to the floor I'd take it to the limit then I'd try to get some more Yeah when it came to gamblin' Well Lord I'd know how to roll them dice Yes I would Ain't no reason to deny it, I have been saved by Jesus Christ Yes I have Ahh Praise the Lord guitar Play it Eddie Tell 'em about it John Well Even though I am a sinner He will always be my friend He starts in the middle and he does not have an end And when my soul was held for ransom he's the one who paid the price Yeah he did Billy Joe Ain't no two ways about it, I owe it all to Jesus Christ, Ah praise the lord harmonica Play it Rogie Yes he was born to be known As everybody's brother He is the Father Son and Mary is his mother He is a excuse my slanguage, well a compound country kinda guy Yes he is Ain't no way to get around it, you just can't beat Jesus Christ I mean it That's the truth Hallelujah
