Trying the make out the words of the Lonnie Donegan gospel hit "Ain't You Glad You Got Religion (If You Are Then Say "Amen!")
What I have so far of the main words (i.e. those not repeated at the end) are:

Ain't You Glad You Got Religion
1931

Cho:        Ain't you glad you got religion, if you are then say, "Amen."
        Ain't you glad ???????????            Saved your soul from sin.
                When you get to heaven ??????
                Look for me cause I'll be there,
        Ain't you glad you got religion, if you are then say, "Amen."

1.        I've been reading in His words,
        How He fed the little birds,
        How much more did Jesus care for you?
                He's the shepherd we're the sheep
                ???????                keep,
                He will let ??? and Satan through.

Cho.

2.        Paul was blinded by a light,
        A-coming down from Heaven bright
        And any day I know ??????
                And one day I know I'll be,
                ????????????????        me,
                And any day I know I'll hear Him say.

Cho.

CHORUS
Ain't you glad you've got religion, if you are then say amen
Ain't you glad there's a saviour found you and saved your soul from sin
When you get to heaven, that land so fair
Look for me, Lord I'll be there
Ain't you glad you've got religion, if you are then say amen

I've been reading in His Word
How He fed the little bird
How much more did Jesus care for you
He's the shepherd with the sheep
The danger's come but He will keep
He will ever guard us safely through

CHORUS

Paul was blinded by a light
Coming down from heaven bright
And any day, I know he'd give himself today
And then one day I know I'm freed
Shake his hand when we do meet
And any day I know I'll hear him say

CHORUS (x2)

Live version:

Ain't you glad you've got religion if you want it say amen,
Aint you glad your saviour (done) found you and saved your soul from sin,
When you get to heaven that land so fair,
Look for me cos I'll be there,
Ain't you glad you've got religion if you want it say amen.

I've been reading in his word,
How he fed the little bird,
How much more did Jesus care for you.
He's the shepherd with the sheep,
Dangers come but he will keep
He will guard and lead us safely through

Paul was blinded by a light,
Coming down from heaven bright,
Then and there he gave himself that day
Him I know that I will meet
Shake his hand when we do greet
Then and there I know I'll hear him say.

Sorry for the barrage of posts, but also, not to be confused with

AIN'T YOU GLAD YOU GOT GOOD RELIGION
