I'm gonna' get me some religion, I'm gonna' join the baptist church
I'm gonna' get me some religion, I'm gonna' join the baptist church
Going to be a preacher, so I don't have to work

I wish I had a heaven, a heaven of my own
I wish I had a heaven, a heaven of my own
Give all of my women, a long and happy home

I'm preach these blues, I'm gonna' pick my seat and sit down
I'm preach these blues, I'm gonna' pick my seat and sit down
'Cause when the spirit comes, Lord knows I'm gonna' watch it too

Grabbin' my suitcase, and took off down the road
Grabbin' my suitcase, and took off down the road
I bid farewell my church, may the good lord bless your soul
Bless your soul
