OLE-TIME RELIGION (7)

cho: Gimme dat ole time religion, (3x)
It's good enough for me.

It was good for my ole father,...

It was good for my ole mother, ...

It was good for Paul and Silas, ...

Makes me love ev'rybody, ...

It is good when I'm in trouble, ...

It will do when I am dying, ...

It will take us all to heaven, ...
