The Benediction (Country Preacher) - Dianne Reeves

Weary feet on a dusty road

Country preacher comes to save your soul

Just after day break on each Sunday morning

You could see women

Men and children piling out

Of their homes in their Sunday go to meetin' clothes

Ah uum

Making their way up that long steep hill

To the house of the Lord to get their hearts fixed

And their minds regulated looking forward to hear

The word brought down from on high from the

Country preacher

Country preacher clears his throat

Say brothers and sister we are gather here this mornin'

To give praise to the Father

The Son and the Holy Ghost

Ah uum

Mama's getting happy Grandma's fanning her face

Cause everybody everybody's losing

All their weariness in this place

Oh the spirit flowed like a mighty river

And all anybody could say at the end of the day was

Ah uum
