Old Time Religion: Lyrics

As performed by Cisco Houston

Traditional

Appears on:
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me

It was tried in the fiery furnace
It was tried in the fiery furnace
It was tried in the fiery furnace
And it's good enough for me

It will do when I'm a-dying
It will do when I'm a-dying
Do when I'm a-dying
It's good enough for me

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me

It was tried in a den of lions
It was tried in a den of lions
Tried in a den of lions
It's good enough for me

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me

Makes me love everybody
Makes me love everybody
Makes me love everybody
And it's good enough for me

It was good for the Hebrew chillun
Good for the Hebrew chillun
Good for the Hebrew chillun
And it's good enough for me

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Old time religion
It's good enough for me

Give me that old time religion
That old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me

Of note:

Woody singing lead vocals, Sonny on harmonica, maybe another voice or two, and a faint, high Cisco on harmony. Lots of whoopin' and hollerin', not much pleasure, for me at least.
