He's got better things for you More than your friends can do Got the Holy Ghost and the fire Just [stretched out into about 5 syllables] to bring you through Better things for you dadadada Jesus Christ my savior Has better things for you If so, that's on the 2nd Holy Modal Rounders LP from Prestige -- the one with Blues in the Bottle, Mr Spaceman, &c. This was recorded originally by the Memphis Sanctified Singers, with some of the Memphis Jug Band believed to be providing accompaniment. A tolerable mp3 of it can be heard and/or downloaded at juneberry78s.com. |
