Lyrics
Woke up this morning,
sweat was just running from my brow
Woke up this morning,
sweat was just running from my brow
Well I got up, I don't know how
Haul myself off to the church somehow
I got the Sticky, sweaty, summer morning Sunday School Blues
All my neighbors gone fishin'
Well I'm goin' fishin', too.
All my neighbors gone fishin'
Well I'm goin' fishin', too.
Jesus got me on a fishin' rendezvous
Fishin' for people like me and you
I got the Sticky, sweaty, summer morning Sunday School Blues
