Preachin' The Blues Part 1

Oh, I’m gon' get me religion I’m gon' join the baptist church
Oh, I’m gon' get me religion I’m gon' join the baptist church
I’m gon' be a baptist preacher and I sure won’t have to work
Oh, I’m gonna preach these blues now, and I want everybody to shout
Mmm-mmm, I want everybody to shout
I’m gonna do like a prisoner, I’m gon' roll my time on out
Oh, in my room I bowed down to pray
Oh, up in my room I bowed down to pray
Then the blues come along and they blowed my spirit away
Oh, I’d’a had religion, Lord, this very day
Oh, I’d’a had religion, Lord, this very day
But the womens and whiskey, well, they would not let me pray
Oh, I wish I had me a heaven of my own,
(praise God almighty)
Yeah, heaven of my own,
Then I’d give all my women a long, long happy home
Yeah, I love my baby just like I love myself
Oh, just like I love myself
But if she don’t have me she won’t have nobody else.
