mary kutter - devil's money lyrics

[verse 1]
bardstown, kentucky in the middle of the twenties
somewhere between heaven and h+ll
great+granddaddy was a deacon but he struggled breakin’ even
’til he started runnin’ bottles out the bible belt
some called him a sinner
only knew him for his sins
some called him a saint
’cause they knew where that cash went

[chorus]
they say, you can’t buy salvation
that ain’t how it works
but if you asked that congregation
sunday morning in that brand new church
they’d say, bless the man with the still in the holler
turning corn into shine, shine into dollars
unholy water, flowing like milk and honey
built that lord’s house with the devil’s money

[verse 2]
the whiskey in the cellars set him up like rockefeller
you can judge him but he did some good
use an outlaw cash [?] in stained glass
like a righteous redneck robin hood
[chorus]
they say, you can’t buy salvation
that ain’t how it works
but if you asked that congregation
sunday morning in that brand new church
they’d say, bless the man with the still in the holler
turning corn into shine, shine into dollars
unholy water, flowing like milk and honey
built that lord’s house with the devil’s money

[bridge]
then he let his little light shine
and let a little light shine the way
is he walking on streets of gold
or was there h+ll to pay?

[chorus]
you can’t buy salvation
that ain’t how it works
but if you asked that congregation
sunday morning in that brand new church
they’d say, bless the man with the still in the holler
turning corn into shine, shine into dollars
unholy water, flowing like milk and honey
built that lord’s house with the devil’s money
built that lord’s house with the devil’s money
