[Intro]
(Aw, yeah)
[Verse 1]
If I was a drunkard
I'd tell you what I'd do
I would quit my drinking
And I'd work on the building too
[Chorus]
I'm a-working on the building
It's a true foundation
I'm holding up the bloodstained
Banner for my Lord
And if I ever get tired
Of working on the building
I'm a-going up to Heaven
To get my reward
(Aw, yeah)
(Thibault on the guitar)
[Verse 2]
If I was a gambler
I'd tell you what I'd do
I would quit my gambling
And I'd work on the building too
[Chorus]
I'm a-working on the building
It's a true foundation
I'm holding up the bloodstained
Banner for my Lord
And if I ever get tired
Of working on the building
I'm a-going up to Heaven
To get my reward
(Pick it again, play it again)
(Whoo, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
If I was a preacher
I'd tell you what I'd do
I would keep on preaching, man
And I'd work on the building too
[Chorus]
I'm a-working on the building
It's a true foundation
I'm holding up the bloodstained
Banner for my Lord
And if I ever get tired
Of working on the building
I'm a-going up to Heaven
To get my reward
[Outro]
I'm a-working on the building
It's a true foundation
