We'Ll Look Back and Smile
There's shape note singin' here tonight
And a preacher down from Dallas
We're savin' souls and gettin' right
While riddin' our hearts of malice
But first there's dinner on the grounds
Southern chicken and potatoes
Soon revival will make its rounds
After the home grown tomatoes
Tomorrow will be back to work
But, oh, it's a Sunday to love
It's well known the Devil won't lurk
Where God's children hear Him above
So let's eat well and laugh and sing
Welcome the young preacher in style
Take all the love this day can bring -
We'll all look back some day and smile
