Lyrics

Well, we had a big revival on Thursday night
Down at the church
Preaching and singing, shaking on the ground
Reading them holy words
Drinking and a-fighting on a Saturday night
Won't buy you no golden shoes
When Sunday rolled around, I never made it out of town
And now I got the backsliding blues
I got the backsliding blues
Got 'em by the threes and twos
Well, my sister is a lover, brother, he's a fighter
That was my first mistake
Telling 'em I would drive, thinking we'd arrive
Back at that campground gate
Well, too much whiskey and too much fun
Knocked me right off of my feet
What am I gonna say when the preacher comes my way
And says, "We missed you on Sunday last week"?
I got the backsliding blues
Got 'em by the threes and twos
And is downing in a cool, deep water gonna wash away all my sins?
Lord Almighty, how many times do I have to get born again?
I got the backsliding blues
Got 'em by the threes and twos
Well, Mama, believe me, I wouldn't lie
We really had to save some souls
All the folks downtown were rambling all around
Straying from the good Lord's fold
We couldn't stand by and just let the devil lie
Had to stand up and holler out loud
You should've seen me and brother preaching in the bar
Billy Graham sure would've been proud
I got the backsliding blues
Got 'em by the threes and twos
