Lyrics

Oh, I'm gonna get me a religion
I'm gonna join the church
Oh, I'm gonna get me a religion
I'm gonna join the church
I'm gonna act like a preacher
Sure won't have to work
Oh, I'm gonna preach these blues
Why, I want everybody to shout
Mmm, I want everybody to shout
I'm gonna do like a prisoner
I'm gonna hold my time out
Oh, away in my room
I bow down to pray
Well, tell the blues good morning
Sure is gone my way
Oh, I had me a religion
To this very day
Oh, I had religion
To this very day
Oh, but the men and the whiskey
They would not let me pray
Well, I wish I had me
A heaven of my own
Oh, I wish I had me
A heaven of my own
And I'd give all my men
A long, long, happy home
Oh, I love my baby
Just like I love myself
Oh, I love my baby
Just like I love myself
If he won't have me
Won't have nobody else
