SUNDAY IN SAVANNAH
(Hugh Mackay)

as recorded by Rosemary Clooney
with The Buddy Cole Trio
1959


One more Sunday in Savannah,
Hear the whole creation shoutin', "Praise the Lord!"
See them flingin' out the banner,
While the congregation says, "Amen!"

Young folks, 'tendin' Sunday school,
Sing merrily 'bout the golden rule.
Parson's dronin' all the day,
Yeah verily in the righteous way!

Time to call on old aunt Hannah,
While she sits there wishin' for her last reward.
Peaceful Sunday in Savannah,
"Don't you dare go fishin' son, Amen!"

Time to call on old aunt Hannah,
While she sits there wishin' for her last reward.
Peaceful Sunday in Savannah,
"Don't you dare go fishin' son, Amen!"
