[Intro]

It was a hot Suday morning, middle of July

The choir was a singin', 'bout the sweet by and by.

Everybody was a swayin', sweatin' in the heat.

We all bowed our heads down, as the preacher took his seat

G G D

My sister and my brother stood next to my mother

D G G A

In the quiet at the close of the verse

That's when daddy cut the big one

A D

At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church

[Verse 2]

My sister rolled her eyes back My brother bit his lip

My cousin just behind us Whispered, "Hey, who let it rip?

I stuck my face in my shirtsleeve Stared down at my shoes

Lord, you could hear a pin dropAs we stood there in the pew

G G D D G G A

Heads were turnin', eyes were burnin' Momma stuck her nose in her purse

After daddy cut the big one

A D

At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church

[Chorus]

G D

He cut the big one It was a stinker

E A

Then he broke the silence With a snicker

G D E

And us kids started laughin' 'Til I thought we was all gonna burst

After daddy cut the big one

A D

At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church

Em D G A

He said, "The devil made me do it" Momma said it was the liverwurst

And that's why daddy cut the big one

Em D G A D

At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church
