working on a building
working on a building:
Traditional Arranged by Dan Zanes; Sister Barbara Music ASCAP
Colin Brooks plays drums. Sonia De Los Santos sings. Dusty D knocks the spoons and plays harmonica. John Foti plays piano. Rob Friedman slides the cuatro. Saskia Lane plays upright Bass. Dan Zanes sings and plays acoustic guitar & mandolin.
All purpose social music, friends! My favorite version is by the Stanley Brothers.
song sample:
lyrics:
I'm working on a building, I'm working on a building
I'm working on a building, for my Lord, for my Lord
It's a Holy Ghost building, it's a Holy Ghost building
It's a Holy Ghost building, for my Lord, for my Lord
If I was a drunkard, tell you what I'd do
I would quit my drinking and work on a building too
If I was I gambler, tell you what I'd do
I would quit my gambling and work on a building too
If I was a preacher, tell you what I'd do
I would keep on preaching and work on a building too
