Better Things For You (Memphis Sanctified Singers) on YouTube

First heard this from the Holy Modal Rounders about forty years ago. They presumably heard the version above from forty years before that and ran with it. I found myself singing it this evening and thought to check the words on the DT - only found this thread - there's another long thread (9245) on HMR history, a few other lyrics but not "Better Things". I'll follow this post with the lyrics as I hear them from the YouTube version. Can't find the Granta article that Peace referred to above, but the description of the performance is very apt.
