John M. Origins: 'Give Me That Old Time Religion' Parody (13) Origins: 'Give Me That Old Time Religion' Parody 26 Jun 05

Hello everyone,

Below is a traditional parody of "Give Me The Old Time Religion"   ( recording )


              1.  Do you sing this song? 
              2.  If yes, when and where did you learn it?
              3.  Would you be willing to sing it for folklore purposes over the phone?


Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

John Mehlberg

GIVE ME THAT OLD TIME RELIGION (Parody)      (recording)
Gimme that ol'-time religion
Gimme that ol'-time religion
Gimme that ol'-time religion
That's good enough for me.

Let us worship as the Druids
Drinking strange fermented fluids
Running naked through the woods
Yes, that's good enough for me


Notes: This is from the singing of an anonymous woman who learned it at Perdue University in ~1963.  I am interested in talking with others who have learned this song.  Please feel free to email me at john@mehlberg.com.
