It was early |
|
Sunday morning |
|
Everyone in the house was still asleep |
|
She made some toast and coffee |
|
Took a shower and made herself smell sweet |
|
She said, "I don't want a bus rideI believe that the walk might help me thinkGot a heart kind of heavyI need some big hat and gloves, shoes and bag religion!" |
|
ReligionThat's my decision |
|
Some of that "make me feel better when I shout" religion |
|
That's my decision |
|
Papa Henry was full of spice |
|
He was a man usually nice |
|
But something got into him last night |
|
Made him want to fuss and hollar |
|
The entire house was in a sweat |
|
His bottle got broken and the floor got wet"Clean it up!" you could hear him scream |
|
Then he said, "I'm going out" |
|
I need religion |
|
ReligionThat's my decision |
|
Some of that "raise up the roof, 90 proof" religion |
|
That's my decision |
|
ReligionIt's my decision, oh yes it is |
|
That's my decision |
|
It's the story about a good family |
|
Who doesn't live anymore in good harmony |
|
They are people who love their daughter and son |
|
They try to give them religion |
|
Little Billy likes his best friend |
|
JackHow in the world could he be like that |
|
Mama and Henry wanna have that chat |
|
Boy, you need religion |
|
Little Betty, whatcha gonna do? |
|
There's a child growing inside of you |
|
You should've stopped and thought things through |
|
Little girl you need a vision of religion |
|
ReligionAnd that's my decision |
|
Some of that "how'd I get on Rikki Lake" religion |
|
That's my decision |
|
ReligionGet a little |
