Song | Old Time Religion |
Artist | Parker Millsap |
Album | Parker Millsap |
[00:16.67] | He’s got old time religion |
[00:21.02] | Buries his cash in a coffee can |
[00:24.52] | And he makes his decisions |
[00:28.98] | Down on his knees yeah he’s a full grown man |
[00:32.62] | And he had a vision |
[00:36.54] | Of a fire it burned up all of the land |
[00:40.35] | You could call it superstition |
[00:44.56] | You could run just as fast as you can |
[00:49.81] | He took a beating |
[00:53.01] | His father screamed at the top of his lungs |
[00:57.00] | An Old Testament reading |
[01:00.56] | If you spare the rod you spoil the son |
[01:04.51] | He’s got scars for his bleeding |
[01:08.93] | Fear of god fills everyone |
[01:12.67] | You can listen to him pleading |
[01:17.02] | Pleadings for the holy son (to) |
[01:20.51] | Chorus: |
[01:21.75] | Give me that old time religion |
[01:24.32] | Give me that old time religion |
[01:28.14] | Give me that old time religion |
[01:32.93] | It’s good enough for me |
[01:37.49] | |
[01:41.98] | (Instrumental break) |
[01:42.40] | |
[01:52.04] | He’s got a King James edition |
[01:56.98] | With all of the words of Christ in red |
[02:00.73] | And he reads the inscription |
[02:05.08] | Every night when he goes to bed |
[02:09.18] | And he goes fishing |
[02:12.96] | For sin in men like Jesus said |
[02:16.55] | Got an old time conviction |
[02:20.57] | Keeps the bodies in the shed |
[02:25.12] | He had a woman |
[02:29.03] | Took her to church every Sunday morn |
[02:32.65] | He said submit to your husband |
[02:36.81] | Submit to me thus, sayeth the Lord |
[02:40.66] | Well he never saw it coming |
[02:44.61] | When she tried to get away in his ‘34 Ford |
[02:48.62] | Now a widower is strumming on a banjo with a missing cord |
[03:02.19] | Chorus: |
