"Me and Jesus" Lyrics

(Tom T. Hall)

Well, me and Jesus
We got our own things going
Me and Jesus
We got it all worked out.

Me and Jesus
We got our own things going
We don't need anybody
To tell us what it's all about.

Well, I know a man
That once was a sinner
I know a man
That once was a drunk.

And I know a man
That once was a loser
But he went out one day
And made an altar out of a stump.

Well, me and Jesus
We got our own things going
Me and Jesus
We got it all worked out.

Me and Jesus
We got our own things going
We don't need anybody
To tell us what it's all about.

Jesus brought me
Thruough all of my troubles
Jesus brought me
Through all of my trials.

And my Jesus brought me
Through all of my heartaches
And I know my Jesus
Isn't gonna forsake me now.

'Cause, me and Jesus
We got our own things going
Me and Jesus
We got it all worked out.

Me and Jesus
We got our own things going
We don't need anybody
To tell us what it's all about.

Now, We can't afford
Any fancy preaching
We can't afford
Any fancy church.

We can't afford
Any fancy singing
But you know
Jesus got a lotta poor people
Out doing his work.

Oh, me and Jesus
We got our own things going
Me and Jesus
We got it all worked out

Oh, Me and Jesus
We got our own things going
We don't need anybody
To tell us what it's all about.

No, We don't need anybody
To tell us what it's all about.
