Hey, Roger...
Having been a card-carrying Methodist and a card-carrying Baptist (and a card-carrying Lutheran and a card-carrying Catholic) I'd have to say that I've never seen a Methodist dance (although I have no doubt that they do) and I've danced with Baptists (my wife being one.)Does that make my wife and all her family (who dance and will do the Electric Slide and the Macarena at the drop of a hat) closet Methodists? Even more confusing, I know both Methodists and Baptists who can read.
I e-mailed the Director of the Baptist Men's Chorus I sing in and asked him where he got the lyrics to this song. We have practice Monday night, so I'll see if he has any further information. He's from Mississippi and I suspect that, like so many songs we do, he just remembers singing them when he was growing up... not from any book or recording. If he can add anything, I'll post it to this thread.
