Shout, Sister Shout

If you want your soul set free

Lift your voice and sing with me

Shout, sister, shout, sister shout!

And if that devil grabs your hand

Here's one thing he can't stand

Shout, sister, shout, you've got to shout!

I was walkin' down the river, singin' a howdy-do song

Up jumped the devil before you, child

Just keep boppin' straight along

Tell old Satan how you feel

Keep that devil off your heel

And shout, that's right, you've got to shout!

Shout, sister, that's right, get up and shout, shout!

Shout, sister, that's right, you've got to shout!

Have mercy!

Walkin' down the river, singin' a howdy-do song

Up jumped the devil before you, child

Just keep boppin' straight along

Tell old Satan how you feel

Get mad - Ha! - off your heel

But shout, that's right, you've got to shout!

Have mercy; shout!

(Have a meetin', have a meetin')

(Get together)

(Have mercy)

(?)

(Mellow! Mellow!)

(Talk to him brother, talk to him!)

Shout, sister, shout, sister

That's right, shout, shout!
