Preachin' Blues
Son House

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

You know I wanna be a Baptist preacher

Just so I won't have to work

One deacon jumped up and he began to grin

One deacon jumped up and he began to grin

You know he said, One thing, elder I believe

I'll go back to barrelhousin' again

One sister jumped up and she began to shout

One sister jumped up and she began to shout

You know I'm glad this corn liquor's goin' out

Another deacon jumped up and said, Why don't ya hush?

Another deacon jumped up and said, Why don't ya hush?

You know you drink corn liquor and your lie's a horrible stink

One sister jumped up and she began to shout

One sister jumped up and she began to shout

I believe I can tell y'all what it's all about

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

I was in the pulpit, I's jumpin' up and down

I was in the pulpit, I's jumpin' up and down

My sisters in the corner, they're hollerin' Alabama bound

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

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
