Working On A Building

Traditional
 (Chorus)
 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 the Holy Ghost building,
 It's a Holy Ghost building, for my Lord, for my Lord!
 (Chorus)
 If I was a preaching man, I tell you what I'd do:
 I'd preach the truth throughout the land
 and work on a building, too.
 If I was a carpenter I tell you what I'd do:
 I'd work all day and work all night
 just to work on the building, too.
 (Chorus)
 If I was a ramblin' man, I tell you what I'd do:
 I'd stop my rambling, stop my gambling,
 and work on a building, too.
 If I was gambling man, I tell you what I'd do:
 I'd throw away the Queen of Spades
 and work on a building, too.
 (Chorus)
 If I was a sinner man, I tell you what I'd do:
 I'd stop my sinning, start my praying,
 and work on a building, too.
 (Chorus)
