It was a hot Sunday mornin'   Middle of July   The choir was a singin'   'Bout the sweet by and by      Everybody was a swayin'   And sweatin' in the heat   We all bowed our heads down   As the preacher took his seat      My sister and my brother stood next to my mother   In the quiet at the close of the verse   That's when daddy cut the big one   At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church      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 drop   As we stood there in the pew   Heads were turnin', eyes were burnin'      Momma stuck her nose in her purse   After daddy cut the big one   At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church      He cut the big one   It was a stinker   Then he broke the silence   With a snicker   And us kids started laughin'   'Til I thought we was all gonna burst   After daddy cut the big one   At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church      He said, "The devil made me do it"   Momma said it was the liverwurst   And that's why daddy cut the big one   At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church
