歌曲歌詞
Ronnie Jones decided to settle down
So he married annie Birch
Now annie hadn't been around too much
She mostly only went to church
Right away she started in insisting
That he come on up and join
He said I'll tell you what I'll do
To settle this by dog I'll flip a coin
Preacher used some fancy words
But ronnie tried his best to understand
Cause he loved his little annie
And for her he wanted to be a better man
But of all the things they told him
It seemed that he remembered only one
He said I guess I'll have to go up there
And tell 'em everything I've done
The Sunday meeting just took up
And ronnie stood outside half scared to death
Regreting what he had to do in there
And tried hard to get his breath
There didn't seem to be much use to put off
What he had to do no more
So he backed way up and took a run
And bolted through the double lobby door
Annie's eyes began to overflow
In tears of joy at what she saw
The preacher took him by the hand
And said bless you my boy tell it all
While every head was bowed in prayer
Some women slipped outside as if to pray
Fearing what the spirit might
Cause ronnie and his circumstance to say
All their fears were justified
His simple life became an open book
Names like dorris cunningham
Wanda webb even Marlene cook
Another kind of fire began to burn down
In the depths of annie's soul
She turned on ron and used some words
Nobody'd ever heard her say before
Sometimes we know not what we pray for
