lyrics

Verse:
Come and gather 'round, Hear ye all the test of day, Breathin' life and new heart, Into good 'ol fashioned ways, I've been saved and redeemed, I start a new life and I swear, To the end of my days.

Chorus:
I'll be sittin' 'round the fire, With you my dear friends, Where we'll be drinkin' whiskey, And smokin' cigarettes, We'll sing all the old songs so sing along with me, May we never live upon our backs, But die upon our feet.

Verse:
On the 7th day that the Lord had gone to rest, I don't think he ever, Did get out of bed, So I took upon myself, To pick up the slack, I built myself my own commandments, With the strength of my own back.

Chorus:
I'll be sittin' 'round the fire, With you my dear friends, Where we'll be drinkin' whiskey, And smokin' cigarettes, We'll sing all the old songs so sing along with me, May we never live upon our backs, But die upon our feet.

Verse:
Thou shalt!
*If you go by friend shall you n'er feel the backhand, If you'll be my lovin' girl, I'll be your lovin' man, Sunday is made for rest and playin' cards and shootin' pool, And Jesus Christ himself had said, "Thou shalt act a fool."

Chorus:
I'll be sittin' 'round the fire, With you my dear friends, Where we'll be drinkin' whiskey, And smokin' cigarettes, We'll sing all the old songs so sing along with me, May we never live upon our backs, But die upon our feet.

Verse
So come and gather 'round but judge me not too harshly, For my want of happy day, And my love of the barley, Come on now you people, We'll have a rowdy down, Sing along with me, For I shall sing it proud.
*
Chorus x2:
I'll be sittin' 'round the fire, With you my dear friends, Where we'll be drinkin' whiskey, And smokin' cigarettes, We'll sing all the old songs so sing along with me, May we never live upon our backs, But die upon our feet.
