lyrics

Yes, I'm gonna get me religion, I'm gonna join the Baptist Church
Yes, I'm gonna get me religion, I'm gonna join the Baptist Church
I’m gonna be a Baptist preacher, so I won't have to work

One sister jumped up, and she began to shout
One sister jumped up, and she began to shout
She said "I'll be so glad when this corn liquor's running out"

One deacon looked around, and he began to grin
One deacon looked up, and he began to grin
He said, "You know one thing, elder. I believe I'll go back to barrelhousin’ again"

Another sister jumped up, she said, "Why don't ya hush?"
Another sister jumped up, she said, "Why don't ya hush?"
"You know he's abandoned, and you outta hush your fuss"

Grabbed up my suitcase and I took off down the road
Grabbed up my suitcase and I took off down the road
I said, "Farewell church, may the good Lord bless your soul"

I was in the pulpit, I was jumpin straight up and down
I was in the pulpit, I was jumpin straight up and down
My sisters over in the corner, they're hollerin Alabama bound

You know I wish I had a heaven of my own
You know I wish I had a heaven of my own
I'd give all my women a good ole happy home

You know I wish I had a heaven of my own
You know I wish I had a heaven of my own
I'd give all my women a good ole happy home

I'm gonna preach these blues and I'm gonna choose my seat and sit down
I'm gonna preach these blues and I'm gonna choose my seat and sit down
But, when the Spirit comes, I want you to jump straight up and down
