Sweet Jesus Let Me Win the Lottery

A two dollar bill gives me a chance if you will
Sweet Jesus let me win the lottery
I hope it's not a sin to pray for me to win
Sweet Jesus let me win the lottery

I will gladly tithe and give to charity
I will be so good for its clear to me
Sweet Jesus let me win the lottery

No more wine women and song
Just a six pack of brew and a sexy blonde
Sweet Jesus let me win the lottery

I do church on Sundays and if its a lot
I'll even do Wednesday evenings with the potluck
Sweet Jesus let me win the lottery

No more cussing or fussing or complaining
I'll be gentle as a lamb, after prayers shout amen
Sweet Jesus let me win the lottery

I've been too poor too long
Just once I want enough to get along
You know I will share, end each day in grateful prayer
Sweet Jesus! Dear Jesus!  Let me win the lottery!!!

Funny, Fritz. And good luck. Just be sure to thank Him, as well, when and if you do win.
