Thread Name: Lyr Req: Hold Me Parson
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hold Me Parson
I was able to transcribe this much from a 1-minute sound sample at Barnes & Noble:
HOLD ME PARSON
Now, hold me, parson, hold me, 'cause I feel my 'ligion comin' on. You better take me down to the river an' wash my sins away. I can hear that choir singin'. I love it more each day. Now I know I'm talkin' queer. Hold me, parson dear. I feel my 'ligion comin' on.
Ah, hold me, hold me, parson, hold me, 'Cause I feels my 'ligion comin' on....
