When Billy Sunday Comes to Town

When Billy Sunday Comes to Town

V1
A preacher man is coming to our town
To start a revival so grand
Every one invited for miles around to hear the gospel
Oh so grand
Come and join the congregation
And you’ll receive his salvation
Souls that have been lad astray
O how those sinners they will crowd around
When Billy Sunday comes to town
V2
O gather round you sinners understand
He’s more than a camp meeting man
Every ones expected to be on hand and be converted
Every man
Hear him shouting hallelujah
Then go off to Sunday school and
Always keep the golden rule
To be baptized, how pious they kneel down
When Billy Sunday comes to town


C
Oh gee there’s
Goin’ to be a jubilee
When Billy Sunday comes to town
Oh hear Evangelist Billy put one over
And then
You’ll hear them praying, saying
Glory for me
Glory for me
Bless those sinners, heaven winners
Oh Lord Oh Lord
He will s trike old Satan out, with his sermons there is no doubt.
Many a soul that was frowned will be heavenwardly bound
When Billy Sunday comes to town
