Please be patient song takes time to load.

It was a hot Sunday mornin'
Middle of July
The choir was a singin'
'Bout the sweet by and by



Everybody was a swayin'
And sweatin' in the heat
We all bowed our heads down
As the preacher took his seat



My sister and my brother stood next to my mother In the quiet at the close of the verse



That's when daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church



My sister rolled her eyes back
My brother bit his lip
My cousin just behind us
Whispered, "Hey, who let it rip?"



I stuck my face in my shirtsleeve
Stared down at my shoes
Lord, you could hear a pin drop
As we stood there in the pew
Heads were turnin', eyes were burnin'



Momma stuck her nose in her purse
After daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church



He cut the big one
It was a stinker



Then he broke the silence
With a snicker
And us kids started laughin'
'Til I thought we was all gonna burst
After daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church



He said, "The devil made me do it"
Momma said it was the liverwurst



And that's why daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church
