Translation
Bilingual
He was born to be known as everybody's brother
He is the Father, Son, and Mary is His mother
He is a 'scuse my slanguage
Well, a compound country kinda guy
(Yes, He is)
Ain't no way to get around it
You just can't beat Jesus Christ
(No, you can't)
I used to crank and drank until my back was to the floor
I'd take it to the limit, then I'd try to get some more
And when it came to gamblin'
Well, the Lord God knows I'd roll them dice
(Yes, I would)
Ain't no reason to deny it
I have been saved by Jesus Christ
(Praise the Lord)
ย
Well, even though I am a sinner
He will always be my friend
He starts in the middle
And He does not have an end
And when my soul was held for ransom
Well, He is the one that paid the price
There ain't no two ways about it
I owe it all to Jesus Christ
(You know I do)
(Praise the Lord harmonica)
ย
Yes, He was born to be known as everybody's brother
He is the Father, Son, and Mary is His mother
He is a 'scuse my slanguage
Well, a compound country kinda guy
Ain't no way to get around it
You just can't beat Jesus Christ
I mean it (That's the truth)
(Hallelujah)
