Is the eloquent chink of a dollar or two.
Would you wish your existence with faith to imbue,
And enrol in the ranks of the sanctified few?
To enjoy a good name and a well-cushion’d pew,
You must freely come down with a dollar or two.
CHORUS.
The gospel is preach’d for a dollar or two,
And salvation is claim’d for a dollar or two;
You may sin some at times, but the worst of all crimes,
Is to find yourself short of a dollar or two.
