Lyrics
Sunday School To Broadway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, she used to stand and clap her hands
And sing Amazing Grace
While the tears of childhood innocence
Were rolling down her face
Mama prayed at night and raised her right
And thought she knew her way
But it's a long long way from Sunday School
To where she's at today
It's a long long way
From Sunday School to Broadway
She's a long way from the girl
She used to be
When you sing the city songs
It's hard to find your way back home
'Cause it's a long long way
From Sunday School to Broadway
Sunday evenings spent in the gospel tent
Down on her bended knee
Where she gave her soul to Jesus
And He set her spirit free
But her body longed for city life
And she couldn't stay at home
And it's a long long way from Sunday School
To New York nights alone
It's a long long way
From Sunday School to Broadway
She's a long way from the girl
She used to be
When you sing the city songs
It's hard to find your way back home
'Cause it's a long long way
From Sunday School to Broadway
Then her eyes grew bright in the cool dark night
And a halo framed her face
And a passer-by swore he heard her cry
Did you hear Amazing Grace
Could you see the man who took her hand
As she laid down in the streets
And it's a long long way from Broadway
Till the place at the Master's feet
It's a long long way
From Sunday School to Broadway
She's a long way from the girl
She used to be
When you sing the city songs
It's hard to find your way back home
'Cause it's a long long way
From Sunday School to Broadway
It's a long long way
From Sunday School to Broadway
She's a long way from the girl
She used to be
When you sing the city songs
It's hard to find your way back home
'Cause it's a long long way
From Sunday School to Broadway
It's a long long way
From Sunday School to Broadway
She's a long way from the girl
She used to be
When you sing the city songs
It's hard to find your way back home
