Hallelujah!
I tell you one thing, everybody say, 'Amen'.
(Amen!)
Thank you very much, now don't get dead on me out there, now
This thing's good if ya let it happen.
Ha-ha-ha-ha
You can feel something if ya want to.Ê
Now if ya don't want to, you don't have to.
You can sit there, lookin' like a stick.
But-ah, I like it, so.
Nothin' like good gospel music, good Christian songs
Boy, an' I'll tell ya.
I'm just so happy to be singin' Christian music, now.
I've just been singin', Great Balls of Fire for so long
That I got tired of it, you know?
We're not gonna have that tonight.
We may get a little fire from glory
We could use a little of that.
Ha-ha-ha.
Wooo!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ah!
A lot of folks think I'm goin' crazy, ya know?
I've had a lot of telephone calls
Sayin', 'You finally snapped boy!'
Yeah, that's right, but I'm doin' what I wanna do.
(Yes Amen, Thank God!)
They can go out and hire the, the greatest psychiatrist
In the world and have him to check me and find I have
More sense than I ever had.
Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Glory to God, Hallelujah!
(audience applauds)
Thank you very much.
Ah, like to do one for ya now.
I'll get the choir to help me on this one, too, an'
I kinda like to stand up and sing this 'un'
But I'm cuttin' this live, so I'll have to set down
I may jump up there after-awhile anyway
And kick the stool back, n' sing it.
I don't know.
One entitled, Down The Sawdust Trail.
The old Camp Meetin'.
Song Begins:
I've so many memories of my childhood
But one that I cherish most of all
It was the time when Jesus saved me
At the old camp meeting, down the sawdust trail
Down the sawdust trail
(Down the sawdust trail)
At the old camp meeting
(At the old camp meeting)
Where the sinners cry
(Where the sinners cry
And tears prevail
(And tears prevail)
Our power did fall (our power did fall)
As the prayers reached heaven
(As the prayers reached heaven)
At the old camp meeting
(At the old camp meeting)
Down the sawdust trail
I can see my dear, old precious Mother
Oh Mama, I can still see you kneeling there
And you know Mother, I knew it was for me
That you was prayin', that I'd get saved, and I did
Hallelujah!
Down that sawdust trail
Down the sawdust trail
(Down the sawdust trail)
At the old camp meeting
(At the old camp meeting)
Where the sinners cry
(Where the sinners cry
And tears prevail
(And tears prevail)
Our power did fall (our power did fall)
Hallelujah!
As the prayers reached heaven
(As the prayers reached heaven)
At the old camp meeting
(At the old camp meeting)
Down the sawdust trail
Down the sawdust trail
(Down the sawdust trail)
At the old camp meeting
(At the old camp meeting)
Where the sinners cry
(Where the sinners cry
And tears prevail
(And tears prevail)
Oh, how our power did fall
(Our power did fall)
As the prayers reached heaven
(As the prayers reached heaven)
At the old camp meeting
(At the old camp meeting)
Down the sawdust trail
At the old camp meeting
Down the sawdust trail
Glory to God!
(Hallelujah!)
