Preachin' the Blues, Pt. 1

Preachin' The Blues (Part I) (Remaster) - Son House

Oh I'm gone get me religion I'm gone join the baptist church

Oh I'm gone get me religion I'm gone join the baptist church

I'm gone 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 gone 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
