The Conversion Of Ronnie Jones chords by Merle Haggard, The Strangers
Verse 1
D
Ronnie Jones
Ronnie Jones decided to settle down
G
So he married Annie Birch
A
Now An nie hadn't been
around too much
D
She mostly only went to church
Right away she started in insisting
G
that he come on up and join
A
He said I'll tell you what I'll
do to settle this
D
but I told God I'll flip a coin
Preacher used some fancy words
that Ronnie tried his best
G
to understand
A
Cause he loved his little Annie
D
and for her he wanted to be a better man
But of all the things they told him,
G
it seemed that he remembered only one
A
He said, I guess I'll have to go up there
D
and tell them everything I've done
The Sunday meeting just took up
and Ronnie stood outside
G
half scared to death
A
Dreading what he had
to do in there
D
and trying hard to get his breath
There didn't seem to be much use
G
to put off what he had to do no more
A
So he backed way up and took a run
and bolted through the double
D
E
D
E
lobby door
And his eyes began to overflow
A
with tears of joy at what she saw
B
The preacher took him by the hand
E
And said, Bless you, my boy, and tell it all
While every head was bowed in prayer
Some women slipped
A
outside as if to pray
B
Fearing what the spirit
might cause Ronnie
E
And his circumstance to say
All their fears were justified
A
The sinful life became an open book
B
Names like Doris Cunningham
and Wanda Webb
E
and even Marlene Cook
Another kind of fire began to burn down
A
in the depths of Annie's soul
B
She turned on Ron and
used some words
nobody had ever heard her
E
say before
Sometimes we know not what we pray for you
