Son House - Preachin' Blues (alternate take) lyrics

Oh, I'm gonna get me a religion, I'm gonna join the Baptist Church Oh, I'm gonna get me a religion, I'm gonna join the Baptist Church I'm gonna be a Baptist preacher, and I sure won't have to work Oh, I'm a-preach these blues, and I, I want everybody to shout I want everybody to shout I'm gonna do like a prisoner, I'm gonna roll my time on out Oh, I went in my room, I bowed down to pray Oh, I went in my room, I bowed down to pray Till the blues come along, and they blowed my spirit1 away Oh, I'd-a had religion, Lord, this every day Oh, I'd-a had religion, Lord, this every day But the womens and whiskey, well, they would not set me free Oh, I wish I had me a heaven of my own Hey, a heaven of my own Till I'd give all my women a long, long, happy home Hey, I love my baby, just like I love myself Oh, just like I love myself Well, if she don't have me, she won't have nobody else
