that old bourbon street church

that old bourbon street church can't quench your thirst

like the whiskey or the cheap sweet wine

but it's a place that you can go when you're drunk

lonely and cold

till the cobwebs of liquor clear your mind

well

that old bourbon street church has seen the best and the worst

but it's even saved a few lost souls

i can't see that one is mine

old bourbon street church

my god

it can't quench your thirst

but it's sure been a friend to this lonesome soul of mine

yes

it has

your dirty old clothes won't bother the lord

'cause he's used to the smell of that wine

think about it

and to the lord a skid row's soul is worth more than a rich man's gold

and when he saves one

oh

he knows he's a millionaire

oh

that old bourbon street church has seen the best and it's seen the worst

it's even saved a few lost souls but god i can't see that one is mine

old bourbon street church

woo

can't quench your thirst

but it's sure been a friend to a sinful soul

it's sure been a friend to a sinful soul

i'm talkin' about an old damn sinful soul like mine

that old bourbon street church

yeah
