Ronnie Jones decided to settle down [00:00:15]

So he married annie Birch [00:00:18]

Now annie hadn't been around too much [00:00:22]

She mostly only went to church [00:00:25]

Right away she started in insisting [00:00:29]

That he come on up and join [00:00:31]

He said I'll tell you what I'll do [00:00:35]

To settle this by dog I'll flip a coin [00:00:37]

Preacher used some fancy words [00:00:42]

But ronnie tried his best to understand [00:00:44]

Cause he loved his little annie [00:00:48]

And for her he wanted to be a better man [00:00:50]

But of all the things they told him [00:00:55]

It seemed that he remembered only one [00:00:57]

He said I guess I'll have to go up there [00:01:02]

And tell 'em everything I've done [00:01:05]

The Sunday meeting just took up [00:01:08]

And ronnie stood outside half scared to death [00:01:11]

Regreting what he had to do in there [00:01:15]

And tried hard to get his breath [00:01:18]

There didn't seem to be much use to put off [00:01:21]

What he had to do no more [00:01:24]

So he backed way up and took a run [00:01:28]

And bolted through the double lobby door [00:01:30]

Annie's eyes began to overflow [00:01:44]

In tears of joy at what she saw [00:01:47]

The preacher took him by the hand [00:01:50]

And said bless you my boy tell it all [00:01:52]

While every head was bowed in prayer [00:01:57]

Some women slipped outside as if to pray [00:01:59]

Fearing what the spirit might [00:02:04]

Cause ronnie and his circumstance to say [00:02:06]

All their fears were justified [00:02:10]

His simple life became an open book [00:02:12]

Names like dorris cunningham [00:02:17]

Wanda webb even Marlene cook [00:02:19]

Another kind of fire began to burn down [00:02:24]

In the depths of annie's soul [00:02:26]

She turned on ron and used some words [00:02:30]

Nobody'd ever heard her say before [00:02:32]

Sometimes we know not what we pray for [00:02:37]
