INTRO: D

 D
It was a hot Suday morning, middle of July
 D
The choir was a singin', 'bout the sweet by and by.
 G
Everybody was a swayin', sweatin' in the heat.
D
We all bowed our heads down, as the preacher took his seat
G                           G    D       
My sister and my brother stood next to my mother
   D      G                   G    A
In the quiet at the close of the verse
G
That's when daddy cut the big one
                                 A                D

Verse 2

D
My sister rolled her eyes back My brother bit his lip
D
My cousin just behind us Whispered, "Hey, who let it rip?
G
I stuck my face in my shirtsleeve Stared down at my shoes 
D
Lord, you could hear a pin dropAs we stood there in the pew
G             G      D          D       G                  G    A
Heads were turnin', eyes were burnin' Momma stuck her nose in her purse
G
After daddy cut the big one
                                  A               D

Chorus

G                             D
He cut the big one It was a stinker
  E                                A
Then he broke the silence With a snicker
G                                    D                 E
And us kids started laughin' 'Til I thought we was all gonna burst
G
After daddy cut the big one
                                A                  D
At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church
Em                                    D                      G A 
He said, "The devil made me do it" Momma said it was the liverwurst
G
And that's why daddy cut the big one
Em                 D           G          A         D
