DON'T YOU LET NOBODY TURN YOU ROUND

CHORUS
Don't you let nobody turn you round,
Turn you round, turn you round;
Don't you let nobody turn you round,
Keep the straight and the narrow way.

'Twas at the river of Jordan
Baptism was begun
John baptized the multitude,
But he sprinkled nary one
CHORUS

The Baptists they go by water,
The Methodists go by land;
But when they get to heaven,
They'll shake each other's hand.
CHORUS

You may be a good Baptist,
And a good Methodist, as well;
But if you ain't the pure in heart,
Your soul is bound for hell.
CHORUS

I guess since we Catholics baptize by sprinkling, we're in trouble....
