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.
Well, I met my sister the other day
I give her my right hand
But just as soon as ever my back-a was turned
She scandalized my name!
Now, do you call that a sister? No, no!
Do you call that a sister? No, no!
Do you call that a sister? No, no!
She scandalized my name!
Well, let me tell you
I met my neighbor the other day (you did?)
Give her my right hand (go on)
But just as soon as ever my back was turned
She scandalized my name!
Now, do you call that a neighbor? No, no!
Do you call that a neighbor? No, no!
Do you call that a neighbor? No, no!
She scandalized my name!
Now, wait a minute, let me tell you
I met my deacon (no) the other day
I give him my right hand
But just as soon as ever my back-a was turned
He scandalized your name!
Now, do you call that a deacon? Hm, hm!
Do you call that a deacon? No, no!
Do you call that a deacon? No, no!
He scandalized my name!
You'll never believe it
But I met my preacher the other day
Give him my right hand
But just as soon as ever my back was turned (truly?)
He scandalized my name!
Now, do you call that a preacher? No, no!
Do you call that a preacher? No, no!
Well, do you call that religion? No, no!
He scandalized my name
He scandalized my name
He scandalized my name
