Don't You Hear Jerusalem Moan?

There's a Meth'dist preacher, you can tell him by his bow---
     Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
Never grubbles at a chicken, just picks out the co'
     Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?

cho: Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
     Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
     Get to Heaven with a ringin' and my soul starts singin'
     Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?

There's a Baptis' preacher, you can tell him by his walk
Got a bottle in his pocket an' he can't hardly talk.

There's a Hardshell preacher, you can tell 'im by his shoes,
Never chaws his own terbaccer er drinks his own booze.

There's a Campbellite preacher, an' his soul is saved,
But he has to get baptised ever' other day.

There's a Holy Roller preacher, he can show you how to shout,
When he gits them all a-rollin' they kick the lights out.

There's a Presbyt'ian  preacher, an' he lives in town,
His neck's so stiff he cain't hardly look around.
