| If you want your soul set free
|
| Lift your voice and sing with me
|
| Shout, sister, shout, sister shout!
|
| And if that devil grabs your hand
|
| Here’s one thing he can’t stand
|
| Shout, sister, shout, you’ve got to shout!
|
| I was walkin' down the river, singin' a howdy-do song
|
| Up jumped the devil before you, child
|
| Just keep boppin' straight along
|
| Tell old Satan how you feel
|
| Keep that devil off your heel
|
| And shout, that’s right, you’ve got to shout!
|
| Shout, sister, that’s right, get up and shout, shout!
|
| Shout, sister, that’s right, you’ve got to shout!
|
| Have mercy!
|
| Walkin' down the river, singin' a howdy-do song
|
| Up jumped the devil before you, child
|
| Just keep boppin' straight along
|
| Tell old Satan how you feel
|
| Get mad — Ha! |
| — off your heel
|
| But shout, that’s right, you’ve got to shout!
|
| Have mercy; |
| shout! |
