[Intro]
Down went the gunner, a bullet was his fate
Down went the gunner, and then the gunner's mate
Up jumped the sky pilot, gave the boys a look
And manned the gun himself as he laid aside his Book

[Verse 1]
Shoutin', "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free"

[Verse 2]
Praise the Lord and swing into position
Can't afford to be a politician
Praise the Lord, we're all between perdition
And the deep blue sea

[Bridge]
Yes, the sky pilot said it
You've got to give him credit
For a son of a gun of a gunner was he

[Verse 3]
Shoutin', "Praise the Lord, we're on a mighty mission
All aboard, we're not a-goin' fishin'
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free"
[Verse 1]
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free

[Verse 2]
(Hallelujah) Praise the Lord and swing into position
(Hallelujah) Can't afford to be a politician
(Hallelujah) Praise the Lord, we're all between perdition
And the deep blue sea

[Verse 1]
Oh brother, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition (Hallelujah)
Oh brother, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition (Hallelujah)
Oh brother, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition (Hallelu)
And we'll all stay free

[Verse 3]
Oh brother, praise the Lord, we're on a mighty mission
Oh brother, all aboard, we're not a-goin' fishin'
Oh brother, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free

[Bridge]
Yes, the sky pilot wrote it
Join me while I quote it
There's a-plenty religion for you and for me
[Verse 1]
Shoutin', "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free"

[Verse 4]
(Hallelu) Praise the Lord
(Hallelu) Praise the Lord
Shoutin', "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free"
