The Gospel According To Luke
In the style of
Lyrics
he was an old hand
at livin'
and makin' his way
he smelled like
old whiskey
and he needed a shave
his home was an alley
off eighth avenue
but if you had a minute
or an hour or two
he'd tell you
the gospel
according to luke
luke carried his bible
in a crown royal bag
and he wiped off
his brow
with an old dirty rag
he'd tell you
straight out
just the way
he believed
faith in the good lord
is all that you need
i remember the mornin'
he first preached
to me
he said
give to your brother
if he is in need
offer up thanks
for the gifts
you receive
there's treasure
in heaven
for the generous few
that was the gospel
according to luke
so i bought him
breakfast
at the daylight caf�
biscuits and gravy
hot coffee and eggs
he was hungry
and ragged
hadn't eaten in days
but i was the one there
who felt out of place
when he
folded his hands
bowed his head
and said grace
a week ago wednesday
i saw him again
downtown
at the mission
surrounded by
friends
handin' out
all the change
he'd collected
that week
sayin' you boys
might need this
a lot more than me
i try hard to practice
the words
that i preach
give to your brother
if he is in need
offer up thanks
for the gifts
you receive
there's treasure
in heaven
for the generous few
that was the gospel
according to luke
he was an old hand
at livin'
and makin' his way
he smelled like
old whiskey
and he needed a shave
his home was an alley
off eighth avenue
if you had a minute
or an hour or two
he'd tell you
the gospel
according to luke
