Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
Well you can toot your whistle, blow your horn
The Memphis Jug Band done been here and gone
Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance, I say
The jug band will have a chance
If you wanna get to heaven I'll tell you what to do
You put on a sock, put on a shoe
You place a bottle of corn in your right hand
That'll crash you right over in the Promised Land
And if you meet the devil, he asks you how ya do
I'm on my way to heaven, don't you wanna go too
You know there's a place that'll do just as well
Called Whitewash Station, 10 miles from hell
Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
Lord, mama, what's on your mind
You keep me worried ‘bout it all the time
Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance,
I say The jug band will have a chance
Ain't got no stockings, ain't got no shoes
You know I've got the Memphis Jug Band Blues
Build a Whitewash Station two miles from Glory
So the jug band will have a chance
I say The jug band will have a chance
So the jug band will have a chance
