Fellas I hate to say it
but I think we've seen the last of the Johnson City jitterbug queen
life can be so long but it's over in a minute and I hear a voice start to sing

thank you Jesus thank you Lord I'm over Jordan and the pain is gone
thank you Jesus thank you Lord now I'm waiting on the other shore

you should seen me back in the day
I could tear up the rug while the jazz band played
but that was before the children you know the Lord is so sweet
now sit down honey let me get you something to eat
you know doesn't matter, the things that we do
except for the love between me and you

now I know what words can't say
and my burdened heart has been lifted today

well it all goes by so fast
and we say goodbye too soon
I'll miss that laugh that could fill a room
but I know what she'd say
don't you worry about a thing 'cause the Lord will make a way
it'll be your turn to sing .
