Old Stone Church

[Verse 1]
When my father got sick my father found God
At the old stone church off twelfth and Claude
He said forgive me Lord I know I'm flawed
When my father got sick my father found God

[Verse 1]
When my mother discovered the bell would toll
She displayed grace with self-control
Sang a lamentation for her husband's soul
When my mother discovered the bell would toll

[Verse 3]
When he died I cursed the holy ghost
With a bird in the air and a whiskey toast
Why’d I lose the man that meant the most
When he died I cursed the holy ghost
When he died I cursed the holy ghost

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
When my sisters learnt they went to his side
Before he could be the father of either bride
Thankful for the years he packed inside
When my sisters learnt they went to his side

[Verse 5]
Me I just got drunk and stoned
Shut down the shutters and shut off the phone
Wished the world would leave me all alone
Me I just got drunk and stoned
Me I just got drunk and stoned

[Instrumental]

[Verse 6]
When my father passed on I came to find God
At the old stone church off twelfth and Claude
I said forgive me Lord I know I'm flawed
When my father passed on I came to find God
My father passed on I came to find God
