If you've never heard a churchbell ring
Then go to the place where the choir sings
And tell your mama you're following her ways
And you're going to the place where the preacher prays
He prays for you like your mama begged him to
If you've never seen a man baptized
Then go to the place where true love lies
And tell your mama you're following her ways
And you're going to the place where the preacher prays
He prays for you like your mama begged him to
They're trying to make me lose my mind
Forget what my mama told me
But i will go to that good old church
And the face of the lord i will see
Please tell my mama i'm following her ways
