30 Mar 06 - 01:00 PM (#1706764) Subject: Lyr Add: HAND OF THE ALMIGHTY (John R Butler) From: DADGBE Hi Friends, First of all, If you are offended by 'naughty' words or satire of gospel music, you'll be more comfortable if you exit this thread immediately. For those of you who are left, someone sent me an mp3 file of a funny bluegrass gospel parody with no name, group or any information attached. If any of you know anything about it, I'm interested. Also, I'd be glad to email the mp3 to any interested folks. Just send me a private message with your contact info. The lyrics are: HAND OF THE ALMIGHTY (John R Butler) Oh sinner, do not stray from the straight and narrow way, For the Lord is surely watching what you do. If you approach the devil's den, turn around, don't enter in, Lest the hand of the almighty fall on you.
If you dare to disobey his stern command. He'll fuck you up (he'll fuck you up), Don't you know he'll fuck you up. So you better do some prayin' while you can. Long ago, a man named Lot had a wife he thought was hot, But she could not stop her black and sinful ways. You know, it was her own damned fault when God turned that bitch to salt. That's the way He used to work back in those days.
When the people went and turned their backs on him, He can fuck you up (he'll fuck you up). No shit, He'll fuck you up, Just like He fucked the people up back then. I used to have a friend named Ray who walked that evil way, He cursed and drank and broke his neighbor's fence, You know, Ray was full' aware, that some sheep were over there, And he knew them in the biblical sense.
Went and paid him back for all his wicked sins, He fucked him up (He fucked him up). Fucked that boy completely up. Now he's married to a Presbyterian. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIK0xIZbim8 |

DADGBE actually called me to ask my advice on whether he should post this. I said that of course he should post it. So, if anybody objects to the posting of this song, blame me. But anyhow, does anybody know anything about thi song? -Joe Offer- DADGBE, can you e-mail me an MP3? |

I first thought I first thought 'Austin Lounge Lizards', but I don't think they would have recorded it on purpose. I then thought 'South Park' but I don't think so. It might be from a comedian or some movie. I swear I've heard it though, and anything of this genre I've heard can probably be blamed on Woodchuck's Revenge. So Bigchuck or Midchuck might know. |

From: Bat Goddess Just this morning I received an MP3 of this from a friend -- and figured I'd better get the words! He suggested that he at first thought ;-) it might be a Unitarian-Universalist hymn. He got it from www.nuclearflatworms.org I think I have to learn it although I can think of a couple venues I might not be able to sing it in. (Although for one of those venues, I really need to learn "What Key Does The Lord Sing In?" when things get a bit too cloying.) Jeez, I'm the sister and sister-in-law of preachers (and, believe it or not, I'm a former Sunday school teacher). Linn |

White termed songs of this type 'upstart crows.' The ones in the literature are mostly humorous and brief and probably are a poor sampling. If you want to go to Heaven I'll tell you what to do; Just grease all over in Brunswick stew; The devil will grab at you and miss his man, Then you'll slip right over into the promised land. Chorus Oh, mourner, you shall be free. When the good Lord sets you free. Collectedin 1915-1916, NC, in N. L. White, 1928, "American Negro Folk-Songs," Chapter 3, no. 9. |

30 Mar 06 - 02:38 PM (#1706856) Subject: RE: off-color gospel song - where's it from? From: wysiwyg The tune sounds like a pastiche of a couple of other well-known bluegrass/oldtime gospel songs. Mainly, "Leave it There," widely recorded and generally attributed to Albert Tindley. Even Willie Nelson has sung it (the original, not the parody!), on Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion radio program. The lyric, though, is completely unrelated. The other tune this song leans on will come to me eventually..... ~Susan |

30 Mar 06 - 10:56 PM (#1707165) Subject: RE: off-color gospel song - where's it from? From: John M. Joe & others, Sorry, I don't really have much to add. I have done extensive google searches and have been unable to find the lyrics or variants posted anywhere. I strongly suspect that it is a modern parody of a gospel hymn that has "God will lift you up" as part of the chorus... Inside the mp3 I have found it is track #3 so it is probably from a CD. I will post up a preview of the song with lyrics on immortalia.com. Hopefully someone will come along and answer your questions about the song. Yours, John Mehlberg ~ My website: www.immortalia.com |

31 Mar 06 - 04:30 PM (#1707818) Subject: RE: off-color gospel song - where's it from? From: frogprince This is sort of an admission, not a complaint. I come from a pretty conservative (might as well say fundamentalist) background. A part of me still started to go "Oh, gracious me" when I saw that lyric; just a momentary reaction. Then I saw Susan acknowledge her own, and Hardi's, reactions. Now, I don't mean I'm offended or "opsot" with them at all; but old conditioning dies hard, and it just makes my head spin a little to think of a "nice pastor" and his "nice wife" being able to laugh freely (and admit it freely) at somthing our puritan forebears would have killed someone for. (But the "spin" feels kinda good). |

11 Apr 06 - 02:43 PM (#1715320) Subject: RE: off-color gospel song - where's it from? From: GUEST,DeHypnotist Not only is it somewhat off color, but singing "Let Me Down" got Jeffrey Frederick and the Clamtones summarily escorted out of the state of Alabama by the State Troopers after they sang it onstage. Great song. "Jesus, Jesus, don't you ever listen to what I tell you?...." "You're my good daddy, and you helped me turn that water into wine... and I like that," "All your sins are forgiven, now let me down..." One version is currently in print, on "Jeffrey Frederick Band, Live at the Icehouse" and a reissue of "Spiders in the Moonlight" is in the works with the studio version. Another treasure trove of the Jeffrey Frederick's version of gospel can be found on "Unfinished Business," an abbreviated set of tracks laid down shortly before he died, such as a very literal "Jesus on the Mainline," with meshes with a few other gospel-styled a capella tracks like "Hot Spoon On The Table" and "Bullshittin' Me." Both are available from Frederick Productions (www.jeffreyfrederick.com). Oh, although they are probably playing it straight, the Asylum Street Spankers have been doing gospel shows and are recording an all gospel album. These are the truly religious, god-afearin folks who in any one show can segue from "Everybody's fucking but me" to "Winning the War On Drugs" to "Ma-na-ma-ha" to "New Jazz Fiddle" to a doo-wop version of "Got My Mojo Workin' and "My Favorite Record" (with "Rotten Cocksucker's Ball" somewhere in the middle). |

15 Oct 06 - 01:24 AM (#1859162) Subject: RE: off-color gospel song - where's it from? From: GUEST,H2D2 I first heard this song loud 'n' clear in June over the big speakers at the Bonnaroo festival and just about lost it. I totally forgot about it until my treacherous brain woke up warbling this little ditty this morning. As for the above mentioned songs, I taught my youth group "Plastic Jesus" long ago (Gold Coast Singers, I think) though they were quite fond of several John Prine songs as well, such as "Dear Abby" & "Please Don't Bury Me". "Drop Kick Me Jesus" was Terry (the QB) Bradshaw being serious, I'm afraid. "A Whole Lot More Of Jesus..." was Scott Wesley Brown, who also penned "I'm Not Religious; I Just Love the Lord". Truth is (as I'm Appalachian, I can attest to this) ... many Southern Gospel and Old Time Gospel lyrics are practically parodies in and of themselves. The humor is this song lies in the dead-on singing and musicianship -- I had to hear the first F-bomb before I realized it was a joke. The other bit of bitter-sweet humor lies in the sad irony that this conveys the world view of a certain subset of christian, a group who was and is to be known by their love). A belated thanks for your posts. |

From: PoppaGator I don't get satellite radio, but when I learned that Bob Dylan has an hour-long weekly program as DJ ("Theme Time Radio Hour"), I wanted to hear it and a friend obliged by burning us a couple of MP3 CDs. The first of Bob's program that I heard (not necessarily the first that aired) was the "Bible" theme show from the first season, and the very first song in that program was "God Will Fuck You Up." |

From: catspaw49 Here is Butler with the YouTube Video A local radio station played this awhile back on a slow Tuesday with some words bleeped and started a near riot. On the other hand they're getting loads of requests to repeat it. Spaw |

But I'd be very curious as to the name and denomination of the church cited earlier in the thread where you could do this song. Seems it would have to be a church where the slightly deaf congregation had all forgotten their hearing aids. |
