Good point, 2c-easy I just love the sarcasm or irony in this song. Im pretty sure leadbelly was a christian, so i think he's kind of criticising hypocritical christians who do bad shit (drinking, beating wives) all through the week then go to church on sunday and act all holy. but he says it all in a really humourous way.
