If I was a preacher, I tell you what I would do,
I'd keep on preachin' and I'd work on the buildin' too
I'm workin' on a building'
I'm workin' on a building'
I'm workin' on a building' for my lord, for my lord
If I was a drunkard, I tell you what I would do,
I'd quit my drinkin' and I'd work on the buildin' too
I'm workin' on a building'
I'm workin' on a building'
I'm workin' on a building' for my lord, for my lord
If I was a gambler, I tell you what I would do,
I'd quit my gamblin' and I'd work on the buildin' too
I'm workin' on a building'
I'm workin' on a building'
I'm workin' on a building' for my lord, for my lord
If I was a sinner, I tell you what I would do,
I'd quit my sinnin' and I'd work on the buildin' too
I'm workin' on a building'
I'm workin' on a building'
I'm workin' on a building' for my lord, for my lord
