Deacon Jones Lyrics
Good evening brothers and sister I'm very sorry to announce that Deacon Jones
Will not be present at the services today
He had a slight accident
But he wants
Everyone to be happy because when you're happy that's what counts
Brothers and sisters and sisterettes
Deacon Jones sends his deepest regrets
To the members of the flock who are new around here
There's somethin' 'bout the deacon that I wanna make clear
Who's honored and respected
Deacon Jones
Now who's so unaffected
Deacon Jones
When the sinner's moanin' low who will share his tale of woe
Lordy Lord Hallelujah Deacon Jones
Who's so handsome and good lookin'
Deacon Jones
Ummm Hmmm Ummm
Who can smell a rooster cookin'
Deacon Jones
The good ole Deke
Who gets all the chicken breast and leaves the giblets for the rest
Lordy Lord Hallelujah Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Ho Deacon Jones
Lordy Lord Hallelujah Deacon Jones
Now who will keep a siser singin'
Deacon Jones
Umm Hmmm Ummm Hmmmm
Who will also keep her phone a ringin'
Deacon Jones
Yes yes
And when she's left all alone at night who will help her see the light
Lordy Lord Hallelujah Deacon Jones
Now who's loved by all the congregation
Deacon Jones
Yes yes brother
And who gives them consolation
Deacon Jones
Umm hmmm Umm hmmm
When a sister's feelin' blue who is it that consoles here in her pew
Lordy Lord Hallelujah Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Ho Deacon Jones
Lordy Lord Hallelujah Deacon Jones
Now who's the country's greatest lover
Deacon Jones
Yes yes
Who makes all the other cats take cover
Deacon Jones
Umm hmmm
And when your gal is leavin' you now just tell me who is she goin' to
Lordy Lord Hallelujah Deacon Jones
Now who takes up all the contributions
Deacon Jones
Yes yes
And ah who tends to their distribution
Deacon Jones
And before any of the dough is spent who is it that takes out his 10 percent
Lordy Lord Hallelujah Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Ho Deacon Jones
Lordy Lord Hallelujah Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones
Ho Deacon Jones
Lordy Lord Lordy Lord Lordy Lord Hallelujah Deacon Jones
