BTW, I don't send e-mail lyrics so if someone wants to, feel free, I think those are correct. We're not a computer, we're people and I fugure if they want 'em, they can come back and get 'em!!!

I don't send no lyrics out by E-M-A-I-L
If you're expecting them from me, go to H-E-double-L

S-A-V-E-D

Some folks jump up and down all night, and D-A-N-C-E
while others go to church to show their brand new H-A-T
and on their face they put great gobs of P-A-I-N-T
and then they'll have the brass to say they're S-A-V-E-D

I know some girls in this town who are so N-I-C-E
they do their hair in the latest styles, yes, B-O-B-B-E-D
they go to parties every night, drink W-I-N-E
and then they'll have the brass to say they're S-A-V-E-D

I've seen some boys lean back and puff their S-M-O-K-E
while others chew and spit out all their J-U-I-C-E
they play their cards and shoot their guns and drink their P-O-P
and then they'll have the brass to say they're S-A-V-E-D

I know a man I think his name's B-R-O-W-N
he prays for prohibition and he votes for G-I-N
He helps to put the poison in his neighbor's C-U-P
and then he'll have the brass to say he's S-A-V-E-D

chorus:
It's G-L-O-R-Y to know I'm S-A-V-E-D
I'm H-A-P-P-Y because I'm F-R-Double E
I once was B-O-U-N-D by the chains of S-I-N
But its V-I-C-T-O-R-Y to know I've Christ within.

It's G-L-O-R-Y to know I'm S-A-V-E-D
I'm H-A-P-P-Y because I'm F-R-double-E
I once was B-O-U-N-D in the chains of S-I-N
But it's V-I-C-T-O-R-Y to know I've Christ within

I only remember bits and pieces of the verses. I found it years ago in a long out-of-print Oak publication called "The Coffeehouse Songbook" -- I'll bet Don Firth has a copy of that one! The cover of that book has a picture of the Main Point coffeehouse in Bryn Mawr, PA, near Philly -- that's where I used to go when I was in high school and college, to hear the likes of Tom Paxton, Tom Rush, John Denver, Steve Goodman, James Taylor....I know, it wasn't the 50s and 60s, but it was fun.

Aloha,

I emailed you too. I know Jeff Davis and Jeff Warner used to perform it, but don't know for sure if they ever recorded it. I seem to remember it being on "Wilder Joy," but it's been about fifteen years since I listened to it.

I sent the chorus, but don't know the verses by heart, and can't find my copy of RUS.

Aloha,

I just heard a song--a spelling tune- which i believe must be called s-a-v-e-d by the blue sky boys. it goes: I used to be b-o-u-n-d by the chains of s-i-n,......but now i'm f-r- double- e ...etc. does anyone know of this one? if so please contact me at: [e-mail]. thanx!
