THOM BRESH - "THAT'S ALL" Lyrics:
(As transcribed from the album: "Thom Bresh - Live And Pickin'!)
Some people go to school tryin' to learn how to teach
Some people go to school, gonna learn how to preach
But if you can't preach without goin' to school
You ain't no preacher, you's an educated fool
CHORUS:
And that's all
Yeah that's all
You better change your way of livin'
'Fore the good Lord say, "That's all"
Well now I know a man
He's a miser man
He likes to hoard and keep all the money that he can
But when that ol' undertaker, Lord he puts you down
Where's he gonna spend that money under the ground
(CHORUS)
(INSTR. BREAK)
Well man came from monkey
Least that's what some people say
But the good book, it don't quite tell it that way
And if you believe that monkey tale like some people do
I'd rather be that monkey brother than you
(CHORUS)
(INSTR. BREAK)
Well now my little song is finished
And my little show is through
And I didn't necessarily mean to sing this song at you, or you, or you, or you
And if you don't like the way my little song goes
Well that's a damn good sign I been a-trompin' on your toes
(CHORUS)
[THOM: C'mon, clap your hands and sing it with me now!]
That's all
Yeah that's all
You better change your way-a-livin'
Before the good Lord say,
What's he say?!
{CROWD: That's all!}
And that's all!
[THOM: Thank you folks so much, you've been a fantastic audience, I love you, and goodnight.]
