"Saturday Satan Sunday Saint" lyrics
"Saturday Satan Sunday Saint"
(originally by Ernest Tubb)
Saturday Satan, Sunday saint
Foolin' your neighbors
That's what you think
Readin' the good book
Singin' the hymns
Come Monday mornin' it's back to a life of sin
Old brother Brown
All week he steals
Tells everyone
'Bout his big business deals
The deacon walks by
A dollar hits the plate
Tryin' to buy hisself a ticket to the pearly gates
Old sister Rose
On the very first row
Been a-sittin' right there
Twenty years or so
Never hears a word
When the preacher speaks
Too busy talkin' bout the bad girl down the street
Saturday Satan, Sunday saint
Foolin' your neighbors
That's what you think
Readin' the good book
Singin' the hymns
Come Monday mornin' it's back to a life of sin
This little song
Bears good advice
Though some may think that it ain't too nice
If you're one
Who's wearing the shoes
There's somebody out there that ain't nobody's fool
Saturday Satan, Sunday saint
Foolin' your neighbors
That's what you think
Readin' the good book
Singin' the hymns
Come Monday morning it's back to a life of sin

Heads in the clouds
We're too high for them

'Round and 'round again
Faster...
Hayes Carll - "KMAG YOYO" Well, daddy joined the Air Force
Said it was a good source
Danger, love, and money, but it only led to divorce
Ended up in Abilene
Working at a Dairy Queen
Put me in the Army on the day that I turned...
Justin Townes Earle - "The Saint Of Lost Causes" I'm a bad dream
I'm not a nightmare, I'm too pretty for that
Let's just say I'm the last thing you wanna see coming
I'm the reason they say watch your back
For so long, I was like a wounded hound...
