Grumblers
Author: T. H. Hymnal: Songs of Summerland #63 (1943) First Line: In country, town or city some people can be found Refrain First Line: O they grumble on Monday Lyrics: 1 In country, town or city some people can be found
Who spend their lives in grumbling at ev’rything around,
O yes, they always grumble, no matter what we say,
For these are chronic grumblers and they grumble night and day.
Refrain:
O they grumble on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, grumble on Thursday too,
Grumble on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, grumble the whole week thru.
O they grumble on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, grumble on Thursday too,
Grumble on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, grumble the whole week thru.
2 They grumble in the city, they grumble on the farm,
They grumble at their neighbors, they think it is no harm;
They grumble at their husbands, they grumble at their wives,
They grumble at their children; but the grumbler never thrives. [Refrain]
3 They grumble when it’s raining, they grumble when it’s dry,
And if the crops are failing, they grumble and they sigh.
They grumble at low prices and grumble when they’re high,
They grumble all the year ‘round and they grumble till they die. [Refrain]
4 They grumble at the preacher, they grumble at his prayer,
They grumble at his preaching, they grumble ev’rywhere;
They grumble at God’s people and say ‘tis all display;
But holy folks don’t grumble, they have only time to pray. [Refrain]
5 They stay away from meeting because it’s hot or cold,
Or else it looks like raining, a headache or a cold;
And when the off’rings taken they’re sure to pout or sigh
And say they feel so sorry always money is the cry. [Refrain]
6 If you don’t quit your grumbling and stop it now and here,
You’ll never get to heaven, no grumblers enter there.
Repent and be converted, be saved from all your sin;
You know that grumbling Christians find it hard a crown to win. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [In country, town or city some people can be found]
