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....
