(omitting the background "chorus")



I'm workin' on a building, I'm workin' on a building,

I'm workin' on a building, for my Lord, for my Lord.



If IIIIIIIIIIIIII were a drunkard, tell you what I'd do,

I'd quit my drinkin', and work on a building too.



CHORUS:

I'm workin' on a building, I'm workin' on a building,

I'm workin' on a building, for my Lord, for my Lord.

It'a a Holy Ghost building, It'a a Holy Ghost building,

It'a a Holy Ghost building, for my Lord, for my Lord.



If IIIIIIIIIIIIII were a gambler, tell you what I'd do,

I'd quit my gamblin', and I'd work on a building too.



CHORUS



If IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII were a preacher, tell you what I'd do,

I'd keep on preachin', and I'd work on a building too.
