| [00:16.67] |
He’s got old time religion |
| [00:21.02] |
Buries his cash in a coffee can |
| [00:24.52] |
And he makes his decisions |
| [00:28.98] |
Down on his knees yeah he’s a full grown man |
| [00:32.62] |
And he had a vision |
| [00:36.54] |
Of a fire it burned up all of the land |
| [00:40.35] |
You could call it superstition |
| [00:44.56] |
You could run just as fast as you can |
| [00:49.81] |
He took a beating |
| [00:53.01] |
His father screamed at the top of his lungs |
| [00:57.00] |
An Old Testament reading |
| [01:00.56] |
If you spare the rod you spoil the son |
| [01:04.51] |
He’s got scars for his bleeding |
| [01:08.93] |
Fear of god fills everyone |
| [01:12.67] |
You can listen to him pleading |
| [01:17.02] |
Pleadings for the holy son (to) |
| [01:20.51] |
Chorus: |
| [01:21.75] |
Give me that old time religion |
| [01:24.32] |
Give me that old time religion |
| [01:28.14] |
Give me that old time religion |
| [01:32.93] |
It’s good enough for me |
| [01:37.49] |
|
| [01:41.98] |
(Instrumental break) |
| [01:42.40] |
|
| [01:52.04] |
He’s got a King James edition |
| [01:56.98] |
With all of the words of Christ in red |
| [02:00.73] |
And he reads the inscription |
| [02:05.08] |
Every night when he goes to bed |
| [02:09.18] |
And he goes fishing |
| [02:12.96] |
For sin in men like Jesus said |
| [02:16.55] |
Got an old time conviction |
| [02:20.57] |
Keeps the bodies in the shed |
| [02:25.12] |
He had a woman |
| [02:29.03] |
Took her to church every Sunday morn |
| [02:32.65] |
He said submit to your husband |
| [02:36.81] |
Submit to me thus, sayeth the Lord |
| [02:40.66] |
Well he never saw it coming |
| [02:44.61] |
When she tried to get away in his ‘34 Ford |
| [02:48.62] |
Now a widower is strumming on a banjo with a missing cord |
| [03:02.19] |
Chorus: |
| [03:02.56] |
Give me that old time religion |
| [03:05.91] |
Give me that old time religion |
| [03:09.77] |
Give me that old time religion |
| [03:14.55] |
It’s good enough for me |
| [03:17.61] |
(Instrumental break) |
| [03:18.49] |
|
| [03:33.89] |
Give me that old time religion |
| [03:38.11] |
Give me that old time religion |
| [03:41.73] |
Give me that old time religion |
| [03:46.65] |
It’s good enough |
| [03:48.57] |
It’s good enough |
| [03:50.48] |
It’s good enough for me |
| [03:54.06] |
|
