Hymns - Pardon Me - Текст песни

Come to the feast

When Jesus told of a certain man
Who was preparing a great big banquet
He sent his servant throughout the land to say
Come to the feast (the feast)

With all the guests that had been invited
You would have t'ought they'd be so excited but
When it came time for de banquet day
They began to make excuses and say (pardon me)

Chorus:
Pardon Me (pardon me)
I've just bought some new oxen and I've got to plow (pardon me)
Pardon Me (pardon me)
But I just bought a field and I've got to go check it out (pardon me)
Pardon Me (pardon me)
But my new bride, she's waitin' home for me
And to say de least
I've no time for a feast
Me have to say tank you, but no (me have to say thank you, no, no, no, no)

(Come to the feast)
Now when the host saw that he'd been had
To tell de trut' he got downright mad
He only wanted his guests to be glad
To come to the feast

He sent his servants t'roughout that town
With invitations to all the down and out
The crippled, poor, and de blind and the lame
Couldn't hear a one of them say (pardon me)

Repeat Chorus (x2, with stepouts)

And to say de least
I've no time for a feast
Me have to say tank you, but no (Have to say tank you, no; thank you no)
