Momma take the pillow from under my head, now
Allelu

Allelu
Now, take the pillow from under my head
Jesus's gonna make up my dyin' bed
Then you'll need that true religion
Allelu

Allelu
Said, crossin' Jordan, I need not fear
Jesus' gonna be the engineer
Then you'll need that true religion
Allelu
Momma take the pillow from under my head, now
Allelu
Said take the pillow from under my head
Allelu
