Son House - Preachin' Blues, Part 1 lyrics

Oh, I'm gon' get me religion I'm gon' join the baptist church Oh, I'm gon' get me religion I'm gon' join the baptist church I'm gon' be a baptist preacher and I sure won't have to work Oh, I'm gonna preach these blues now, and I want everybody to shout Mmm-mmm, I want everybody to shout I'm gonna do like a prisoner, I'm gon' roll my time on out Oh, in my room I bowed down to pray Oh, up in my room I bowed down to pray Then the blues come along and they blowed my spirit away Oh, I'd'a had religion, Lord, this very day Oh, I'd'a had religion, Lord, this very day But the womens and whiskey, well, they would not let me pray Oh, I wish I had me a heaven of my own, (praise God almighty) Yeah, heaven of my own, Then I'd give all my women a long, long happy home Yeah, I love my baby just like I love myself Oh, just like I love myself But if she don't have me she won't have nobody else.
