Here ya go!


EVERY TIME I FEEL THE SPIRIT

Up on the mountains my Lord spoke;
Out of His mouth came fire and smoke.
Looked all around me, it looked so fine;
I asked the Lord could it be mine.

Chorus: Every time I feel the spirit
Movin' in my heart I will pray.
Yes, every time I feel the spirit
Movin' in my heart I will pray.

There ain't but one train, running on this track
It runs to heaven and it runs right back
If I behave they will let me ride,
I'll have a home there when I get inside.

Oh, I have sorrows and I have woe
And I have heartache here below.
But while God leads me I'll never fear;
For I am sheltered by His care.

from: Here (http://hot.virtual-pc.com/guitar/Everytime_I_Feel_the_Spirit.htm) Chords available there too, but they were embedded, so I didn't try to leave them in......

Some variations in the verses.

From "The Book of American Negro Spirituals" by James Weldon Johnson:

An' all aroun' me look so shine,
Ask-a my Lord if all was mine.

Jordan river chilly, cold,
Chill-a de body but not de soul.

From: "On The Trail of Negro Folk-Songs" by Dorothy Scarborough:

Ain't but one train on this line,
Runs to heaven and back again.

Both sources have the "spoke...smoke" couplet and Scarborough also reports the "shine...mine" couplet.
