The Gospel Singer - Tony Joe White[00:00:00]

In the town of Tifton Georgia[00:00:00]

On a hot and dusty day[00:00:04]

You could see the heat coming off the ground[00:00:07]

Up the street a man came running[00:00:13]

Stumbling on his way[00:00:17]

And he shouted that the gospel singer[00:00:19]

Is coming to our town[00:00:23]

Hallelujah the gospel singer is coming[00:00:28]

Hallelujah the gospel singer is coming[00:00:34]

He was born in Tipton Georgia[00:00:45]

With a voice as pure as gold[00:00:48]

And his hair was golden as the sun[00:00:52]

Drinking and women were his friends[00:00:57]

But the people did not know[00:01:00]

That he did not feel the songs he sung[00:01:04]

Hallelujah the gospel singer is coming[00:01:10]

Hallelujah yeah the gospel singer is coming[00:01:16]

In a tent a thick tarpaulin[00:01:27]

In a pasture near the town[00:01:31]

The people came and waited all day long[00:01:34]

There were some who could not walk[00:01:40]

And some who could not see[00:01:44]

And it was believed that[00:01:46]

He could help them with his songs[00:01:48]

But the singer he had grown tired[00:01:52]

Of the life that he had lived[00:01:56]

And to the rich and poor sick and cripple[00:01:59]

He looked at them and said[00:02:03]

I can not cure your illness[00:02:08]

And I can not make you see[00:02:10]

For I have loved your women[00:02:14]

And I sang to you for money[00:02:17]

In the town of Tipton Georgia[00:02:25]

The sun was arising[00:02:28]

But not a soul was seen out on the street[00:02:31]

But some had gathered in the pasture[00:02:37]

And were staring outside to believe[00:02:41]

At the shadow of the singer[00:02:44]

'Neath the tall and lonesome pine tree[00:02:47]

Hallelujah hallelujah[00:02:55]
