Preaching The Blues Pt1 - Son House
Oh I'm gone get me religion I'm gone join the baptist church
Oh I'm gone get me religion I'm gone join the baptist church
I'm gone be a baptist preacher and I sure won't have to work
Oh I'm gonna preach these blues now and I want everybody to shout
Mmm mmm I want everybody to shout
I'm gonna do like a prisoner I'm gone roll my time on out
Oh in my room I bowed down to pray
Oh up in my room I bowed down to pray
Then the blues come along and they blowed my spirit away
Oh I'd a had religion Lord this very day
Oh I'd a had religion Lord this very day
But the womens and whiskey well they would not let me pray
Oh I wish I had me a heaven of my own
Praise God almighty
Yeah heaven of my own
Then I'd give all my women a long long happy home
Yeah I love my baby just like I love myself
Oh just like I love myself
But if she don't have me she won't have nobody else
