Preachin' the Blues, Pt. 1

Preachin' the Blues, Pt. 1 - Son House

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
