    Song about an Old Man singing in Church.
    I heard a song on the radio as a teenager (in the mid-80's) about an old man singing in church. It was a story-type song and apparently the old man couldn't sing very well and it was annoying all the other people in the church. One day the Preacher pulled him aside and told him about this, and asked him to stop singing or to sing very quietly.

    The refrain of the song was the old man saying back something like -- "Do you think they'll ask me to stop singing in the choir up in heaven with the angels?" Or something like that. It was a very sad song and I've never heard it again since.

    Any help or suggestions on how to find the artist or name of the song? Has anyone heard this song before?

    It might be the Heavenly Choir

    Heavenly Choir Lyrics -Canton Spirituals Lyrics -

    Or Porter Wagoner set a poem to music called Trouble in the Amen Corner http://holyjoe.net/poetry/campbell.htm I'd almost bet this was the one you were looking for.
