Lyrics Overdose of the Holy Ghost - The Clark Sisters

Overdose of the Holy Ghost

Miss, let me tell you something this evening
You don’t need no dope today
All you need is an overdose of the Holy Ghost
(An overdose of the Holy Ghost)
My mind goes back when I was a little girl
I was bare at the altar at my grandmama’s church
Then something hit and it shock me from my head to my toe
A strong chill ran down my spine, I was knocked to the floor
Oh the joy of the Lord, an overdose of the Holy Ghost
An overdose of the Holy Ghost (just like fire, shut up in my bone)
An overdose of the Holy Ghost (down from my ankles Lord, to my knees,
to my hip bone)
Just like fire, shut up in my bone (it moved on up and down my spine and
electrified my legs and toes)
(I didn’t know where, where to cry loud, shout, or to run
And I opened up my mouth I began to speak in tongues)
Oh the joy of the Lord, an overdose of the Holy Ghost
An overdose of the Holy Ghost (oh yeah)
Just like fire shut up in my bone
(In the book of acts) verses two and four
(Where it all begin) on one accord
(A sound came down) like a mighty roar
(And it was a rushing mighty wind)
(It filled the house) with the Holy Ghost
(What they had then) was an overdose
(Tongues of fire) to the uttermost
(They were all filled and all begin the speak)
Just like fire shut in my bone (nothing but fire)
Just like fire shut up in my bone
(In the book of acts) verses two and four
(Where it all begin) on one accord
(A sound came down) like a mighty roar
(And it was a rushing mighty wind)
(It filled the house) with the Holy Ghost
(What they had then) was an overdose
(Tongues of fire) to the uttermost
(They were all filled and all begin the speak)
(Just like fire) just
(Shut up, shut up in my bones) like fire
Shut up in my bones (just like fire shut up in my bones)
(In the book of acts) verses two and four
(Where it all begin) on one accord
(A sound came down) like a mighty roar
(And it was a rushing mighty wind)
(It filled the house) with the Holy Ghost
(What they had then) was an overdose
(Tongues of fire) to the uttermost
(They were all filled and all begin the speak)
(Just like fire, fire, fire shut up in my bones) just like fire shut up in my
bones
Just, like, fire
Shut up in my bones
(In the book of acts) verses two and four
(Where it all begin) on one accord
(A sound came down) like a mighty roar
(And it was a rushing mighty wind)
(It filled the house) with the Holy Ghost
(What they had then) like an overdose
(Tongues of fire) to the uttermost
(They were all filled and all begin the speak)
