Let me introduce Mr. Reverend Jones He preached to the group of total unknowns Around 1940 a long time ago He was my Grandpappy wouldn't you know He preached at a church in a farming town A fist pounding righteous man in a gown When he finished with his congregation He headed to town yelling hell and damnation The Hobos knew just where he preached They gathered at the corner and waited to meet They built him a pulpit with an apple crate He stood up proud like it was his fate They didn't want to die as total unknowns So, they listen to the words of Rev Jones When he started shaking that Bible book He started yelling and they had to look Lift up your heads folks lift them up Listen to the Lord and drink from his cup The Lord broke the night with the light of day In his hands you won't waste away If you're feeling like a total unknown Listen to Mr. Rev Jones The men came back from fighting a war Their lives were gone that they had before Their minds were working in a different place All they needed was meaning and grace Turned to a life of being a bum But the Reverend knew better things would come They built him a pulpit with an apple crate He stood up proud like it was his fate They didn't want to die as total unknowns So, they listen to the words of Rev Jones If you're feeling like a total unknown Listen to Mr. Rev Jones If you're feeling like a total unknown Listen to Mr. Rev Jones If you're feeling like a total unknown Listen to Mr. Rev Jones
