Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Shout Sister Shout

Written by：Arthur Crudup

Shout sister shout

Shout sister shout

Shout sister shout

Tell the whole world what it's all about

Now listen everybody to the precious words

I'm gonna do some chirping

And I ain't no bird

There's a reason for living

A reason for dying

A darned good reason why a woman starts crying

A reason for a mole a reason for a dimple

But there ain't no reason why a man's so simple

Shout sister shout yeah

Shout sister shout I'm tellin' you

Shout sister shout yeah

Tell the whole world what it's all about

There's a way to be brilliant

A way to be a fool

A way to get to heaven

Observe the golden rule

A way to get a sweetheart

A way to get a wife

But the day you quit me brother

That's the day you lose your life

Shout sister shout yeah

Shout sister shout oh boy

Shout sister shout yeah

Tell the whole world what it's all about

There's a reason for a mountain

A reason for a hill

A reason why a doctor

Gives a patient a pill

A reason to stand

A reason to sing

But there ain't no reason

Why a man can't swing

I can understand the birds

And I can understand the bees

Sister I can even understand

Why a rat eats cheese

I can understand my dog

And I can understand your cat

Well fill me full o' rhythm

Can you understand that

I gotcha covered sister

Sister shout hallelujah

Shout sister shout hallelujah

Shout sister shout hallelujah

Tell the whole world what it's all about

I'm gonna shoooo ut

I'm gonna shoooo ut

I'm gonna shout it out

And tell the world what it's all about
