A TALK WITH JESUS by John Cionca 1. I WAS TIRED AND WEARY FROM A LONG DAY AT WORK. SO I CHANGED TO SOME JEANS AND AN OLD DIRTY SHIRT. WHILE DRINKING A COLD ONE OUTSIDE IN A CHAIR. I CALLED UPON JESUS, MY BURDENS TO SHARE. 2. JESUS, IM TROUBLED, I M WONDERING WHY WE TOIL IN THIS LIFE SO HARD THEN WE DIE. THEN A VOICE OUT OF NOWHERE SAID THE ANSWER IS LOVE FOR FAMILY, FOR COUNTRY, & THE GOOD LORD ABOVE **CONTINUED IN NEXT COMMENT

3. THEN JESUS PLEASE TELL ME WHY I LEARNED AS A LAD

THAT THE GOOD BOOK SAYS MONEY IS EVIL AND BAD

AGAIN JESUS ANSWERED AND IT DIDNT TAKE LONG

ITS GREED, NOT MONEY THAT IS SINFUL AND WRONG

4. ONE MORE THING, JESUS, PLEASE LEND ME AN EAR.

WHATS THE MEANING OF LIFE AND WHY AM I HERE.

THE ANSWER HE GAVE ME REALLY RATTLED MY HEAD.

IN WORDS THAT SURPRISED ME, HERES WHAT JESUS SAID.

5. HERNANDO IS WAITING, I MUST RUN ALONG.

I STILL NEED A GOOD HOUR TO FINISH YOUR LAWN.

BUT SENOR, ONE MATTER BEFORE I VAMOOSE.

THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE ME. PLEASE CALL ME HAY-ZOOSE (JESUS).

I love the lyrics, but I can't really figure out what he said after "That the good book says money is evil and bad" Does he say "But Ganges is censored"... and, I'm just not sure. Does anyone know what he's saying?

Again love this song!

Hi meepsrevenge

I'm glad you like my song. The line is "Again Jesus answered and it didn't take long."

Thanks for you inquiry. I'm going to try to show the complete lyrics in a couple of comments to follow if I can keep it within the 500 character count limit.

The "Surprise Ending" is "next time you see me call me Hezeus/Jezeus."

1:45 is the best.

*smiles* That would be excellent. :) I'm actually wanting to sing it for my Papaw who loves bluegrass and just got himself a new banjo. So, I hope you don't mind. I'm trying to learn the lyrics for him. I think he'll get a kick out of it.
