He’s got old time religion Buries his cash in a coffee can And he makes his decisions Down on his knees yeah he’s a full grown man And he had a vision Of a fire it burned up all of the land You could call it superstition You could run just as fast as you can He took a beating His father screamed at the top of his lungs An Old Testament reading If you spare the rod you just spoil the son He’s got scars for his bleeding Fear of god fills everyone You can listen to him pleading Pleadings for the holy son (to) Chorus: Give me that old time religion Give me that old time religion Give me that old time religion It’s good enough for me
(Instrumental break)
He’s got a King James edition With all of the words of Christ in red And he reads the inscription Every night when he goes to bed And he goes fishing For sin in men like Jesus said Got an old time conviction Keeps the bodies in the shed He had a woman Took her to church every Sunday morn He said submit to your husband Submit to me thus, sayeth the Lord Well he never saw it coming When she tried to get away in his ‘34 Ford Now a widower is strumming on a banjo with a missing cord Chorus: Give me that old time religion Give me that old time religion Give me that old time religion It’s good enough for me (Instrumental break)
Give me that old time religion Give me that old time religion Give me that old time religion It’s good enough It’s good enough It’s good enough for me
