verse 1
A minorAm
He?s got old time religion

Buries his cash in a coffee can
A minorAm
And he makes his decisions

You could run just as fast as you can
A minorAm
He took a beating
DmDm
His father screamed at the top of his lungs
A minorAm
An Old Testament reading

If you spare the rod you spoil the son
A minorAm
He?s got scars for his bleeding

Fear of God fills everyone
