Redbreast Wilson & the Juke Joint Revival - I Got Religion

Hmmm
Well, I got religion, Lord I'm not ashamed
Angels in heaven done signed my name

Well, I got religion, Lord I'm not ashamed
Angels in heaven done signed my name
Alright now folks, I wanna tell you something,
Something 'bout myself, something you might didn't know 'bout me.
You know, I used to drink no whiskey, I used to drink no wine
But one day the old devil came and changed my bloody mind
I fell down my knees, I fell down and cried,
I said, look at me Jesus, look at your poor child

Hmmm

The old devil came to me and looked me in the eye
He said, ‟Relax baby, you know, you're mine”
I said, no Demon Master, I'm tough man, and I can turn you down
And I will turn you down

'cause I got religion, Lord I'm not ashamed
Angels in heaven done signed my name
Well, I got religion, Lord I'm not ashamed
Angels in heaven done signed my name

The next time I was sittin' in a bar, and a pretty, hot girl came to
But I knew, the devil was inside her
She came to me, leaned to my ears, and whispered something to me
Do you know what she said? I tell what you, what she said
And she said exact like this:
‟I gotta try you, I gotta try you, no matter what you say, no matter what you do
I gotta try you, I gotta try you, 'cause you're mine, 'cause you're mine”

Hmmm

I fell down my knees, I fell down and cried
I said, take your hydraulic system Jesus, and blast the devil out
But silent was the heaven, as the deep dark night
Now I spend my days and nights with a bottle o' booze by my side

Well, I got religion, Lord I'm not ashamed
Angels in heaven done signed my name
Well, I got religion, Lord I'm not ashamed
Angels in heaven done signed my name
