Vanity In This Town Lyrics

Church folks, let grace shine in your walk
But first know you're right before you talk
Because the devil has been granted a [?] excuse
And for moonshine's sake, they have turned him a-loose
In this town

Women are not keen with the styles they wear
Their skirts are too short and their arms are so bare
And during next season, they [?]
They'll discard their skirt and wear the waist so low
In this town

The absence of booze, it makes crimе no less
[?] drink [blues?] and all kinds of mess
Whilе churchgoing officials drink beer and wine
The preacher himself, brother, [?] 'shine
In this town

Churchgoing women, to enchant her smile
Have bobbed their hair in the actress style
Manicuring their lips in the North and South
To look just like a perch's mouth
In this town

Religious sheep like shepherd flock
Got a church and a garage in nearly every block
They stick to their minister like feathers to tar
And the more churches they build, the worse they are
In this town

Always wrong is the way of a dunce
He'd rather be a fool than a wise man once
Swarming 'round church like bees on Sunday
And down the dale they go on Monday
In this town

Church members and sinners are all one feather
Like hogs in a ditch, they wallow together
In the swindle they creep, the graft they dart
And if judged by worth, you can't tell 'em apart
In this town

Many thousands of persons having no defense
Are sorry and dying for their lack of sense
Yet no one has ventured to rescue the creatures
Who are led to hell by hypocrite preachers
In this town

Bootlegging people have very good points
On running lewd houses and whiskey joints
With only one iron and a washing tub
Such dives are called a pressing club
In this town

Now in the moonshine sport, all are playing the same
And there are two big leaders got a hand in the game
Church plays the ace, preacher, the deuce
And they both together turn the devil a-loose
In this town
