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 ride |
|
I believe that the walk might help me think |
|
Got a heart kind of heavy |
|
I need some big hat and gloves, shoes and bag religion" |
|
Religion, that'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 holler |
|
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" |
|
Religion, that's my decision |
|
Some of that raise up the roof, 90 proof |
|
Religion, that's my decision |
|
Religion, it'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 Jack |
|
How 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 |
|
Religion and that's my decision |
|
Some of that how'd I get on Rikki Lake? |
|
Religion, that's my decision, religion |
|
Get a little religion |
|
Get a little religion |
