We went to church last Sunday I held your little hand And we listened to the gospel Of an old time preachin' man In the middle of the sermon He cracked a little smile And said "Jesus will take care of you" "I'll see you after while" CHORUS: Well you caught me laughin' Though it was not a joke Well you caught me laughin Underneath the holy smoke I showed up at your wedding I was crazy like a loon Before I realized what was happening I was your bridegroom In the middle of the wedding vows You looked at me and smiled And said "Jesus will take care of you" "I'll see you after while" And now I'm gettin' older Got cancer in my lung Well somebody smoked my cigarette And I think you're the one And laying on my death bed You look at me and smile And said "Jesus will take care of you" "I'll see you after while"
