He Goes to Church on Sunday
- He Goes to Church on Sunday
"He Goes to Church on Sunday" is a popular song, first published in 1907, and written by Vincent Bryan and Ray Goetz. The song tells the story of a "crooked" man, who steals stuff from people, but is considered an honest man because he goes to church on Sundays. However, the song doesn't appear to be a criticism of religion, and the tone of the song is humorous and light-hearted. Billy Murray recorded and released at least four different versions of this song in one year, on Columbia Records, Standard Records, Victor Records, and Edison Records. All four versions are in the public domain.
