Down South Camp Meeting
Benny Goodman & His Orchestra

Saints and sinners, come one, come all

Have a little revival

Losers, winners, answer my call

Cause right now the tent's up

Really it is

The word's out

Truly it is

An' has been since the dawn

Hear me tell y'

The call's out

Really it is

An' we're 'bout

Tendin' t' biz

To git this meetin' on,hear me tellin' you

Brothers' n' sisters who want to repent

That's right

You'll find what you been lookin' for

Right here in this tent

Lend an ear and you'll see

Cause when it comes t' needin' savin'

Ain' nobody knows it better than me

I was so low that I know

That only a miracle like this

Is the only way t' heavenly bliss

It's really the truth, lawdy, I know it

I know it 'cause I been taken through it

Now the spirits in me an' allowed the Lord

T' win me, I can testify to it

Sweet sweet the angel's song

Sweet the feelin' I been searchin' for

For ever so long

I never again imagine livin' life

Like I was livin' when I lived wrong

Get ready

Swing

Here they come the choir's all set

Be steady

Sway

See the people fillin' them pews

Be willin'

All

To announce without a regret

It's thrillin' !

Day

Tell the world the wonderful news

Folks' re troopin' in from farther 'n' near

F' news that they can hardly wait to hear

They're nearly starved cause they're waitin'

For food for the soul, yeah

Starved cause they're waitin' for

What will not grow old

Preacher's openin' up the book

He gonna pause awhile an' take a look

'N' then he'll start tellin' everyone

Just how t' do, yeah

Sister Emmy Lou done gone t' shoutin'

An' jumpin' cause she feels the spirit

The congregation's stompin' its feet

An' everybody's movin' outta their seat

They really gonna get this meetin' on

An' praise the Lord until the dawn

Yeah--hear that preacher spread the word

Cause it's the greatest word

You've ever heard

When he says

I'm callin' sinners right now you hear

I'm callin' sinners right to me

When ol' Satan grabs your soul

It takes the Lord's true word to break his hold

So I say you got to listen mostly to me

You got to listen closely

Don't let the devil catch y' nappin'

Gotta keep the vigil every minute

Or the devil gonna surely git you

Watch your step 'n' how you act

Mister Scratch is here, an' that's a fact

If anyone can stop him, I can

That's why I'm the preacher man

We hear the word

We hear your voice

We know there really isn't any other choice

Head f' heaven t' day

We're on the gospel train

We can show you the way

Relieve all strain

Leave your cares and your woes

Yes!

Heaven knows

Yes!

Y' dodge that devil in his fine fancy clothes yes!

Come git aboard

We still got space

Hear the word of the Lord

We saved your place

Save your soul while y' can

Yes!

Sinner man

Yes!

Git on as fast as you can

You've heard the sermon sublime

Down south camp meetin' time!
