I'm goin' get me religion, I'm goin' join the baptist church I'm goin' get me religion, I'm goin' join the baptist church You know I wanna be a baptist preacher, so I won't have to work One sister jumped up, she began to shout One sister jumped up, she began to shout She said I'm so glad, that corn liquor goin' out Well another deacon jumped up, said sister why don't you hush One deacon jumped up, said sister why don't you hush Know you drink corn liqour and your lie's a horrible stink - ??? Well I wish I had, wish I had a heaven of my own Well I wish I had, wish I had a heaven of my own You know I'd give all my women a long and happy home Well I'm goin' get me religion, I'm goin' join the baptist church I'm goin' get me religion, I'm goin' join the baptist vchurch You know I wanna be a baptist preacher, so I won't have to work I won't have to work, won't have to work, won't have to work yeah
