I guess you could say he's a fixture
'round town they all knew his name..
and every time the church bells rang
Uncle Jesse, he up and came..
He always sat in the very same pew
humming in a voice loud and rough,
When it came to the Antioch Church house chior
Uncle Jesse never heard enough.

You see, he always wanted to sing in the chior
but he couldn't sing a lick don't you know
he tried out for the Antioch Church house chior
34 years in a row

He always got to the try-outs early
he wanted to try out first,
but instead of his singing getting any better
every year it just got a little worse..

And he'd say.. Please let me sing in the chior
in the chior,  Please let me sing in the chior...
I can lift my vioce just as high as yours..
maybe just a little higher..
Please let me sing in the chior, in the chior
please let me sing in the chior
one old man can't be all that bad,
won't you please let me sing in the chior...

One cloudy Sunday morning,
I remember it was raining some
The church bells rang, and everybody came
except Jesse, He didn't come..
Everybody started getting worried,
but the figured they'd start any how..
Just as they did Jesse's voice came
booming down from Heaven,
and I don't know how...

He said
I've found me a chior that'll let me sing,
now I'm singing in the chior
I can lift my voice just as high as yours
maybe just a little higher..
I've found me a chior that'll let me sing
now I'm singing in the chior..
You folks down there can't hold me a light
'cause I'm singing in the heavenly chior..
