1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Down by the tabernacle, oh!

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Where the June bugs danced
And the lemonade flowed

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And we prayed and we sang 'til
The sun sank low

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Laughing with our sisters and brothers.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Down by the tabernacle, hey!

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Where you knew you were loved
And you wanted to stay,

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Though the summer heat
Was like judgment day,

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We always enjoyed each other.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well, we went to the river
And some were baptized,

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We clapped our hands and testified

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Then we passed around the chicken
And the buttermilk pie

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And nothing ever tasted better.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Then the kids played ball
And the babies just played

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And the old men napped
Out under the shade

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And the women picked flowers
And sipped lemonade

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And sat around talkin' together.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Down by the tabernacle, oh!

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Where the June bugs danced
And the lemonade flowed

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And we prayed and we sang 'til
The sun sank low

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Laughing with our sisters and brothers.

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Down by the tabernacle, hey!

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Where you knew you were loved
And you wanted to stay,

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Though the summer heat
Was like judgment day,

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We always enjoyed each other.

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well I look back now
And I wish that I could

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Go back to the time
When life was good,

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When everybody lived
The way that they should

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
At least that's the way I recall.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We loved our God with all of our might

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And everybody knew
The wrong from the right,

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And we worked all day
And slept all night

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And we were proud and stood tall.

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Down by the tabernacle, oh!

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Where the June bugs danced
And the lemonade flowed

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And we prayed and we sang 'til
The sun sank low

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Laughing with our sisters and brothers.

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Down by the tabernacle, hey!

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Where you knew you were loved
And you wanted to stay,

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Though the summer heat
Was like judgment day,

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We always enjoyed each other.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Down by the tabernacle!

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Down by the tabernacle!

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Down by the tabernacle!
