Subject: RE: Canadian folk icon Vera Johnson
By the way...I have some words to that song Vera sang to Billy Graham but not all. Wendy remembers: Religion was the opiate of the people. Marx declared it loudly long ago. You'll always feel alive , now Billy's on your side. He's a man you really ought to know. Chorus: Come and get your daily shot from Jesus. Don't rely on pot or lsd. Christ can give a thrill like the needle never will. Come and get your kicks from Calvary. That is it. Vera could not understand why Billy was not enchanted with her song when she got up and sang it to him and his evangelical audience. She was not being disrespectful. Vera was , and is, a sincere Christian . Anyhow...anybody have the rest of the words to this song?
