We will now hear testimony from, eh Brother Nicely Nicely Johnson Brother Nicely Nicely Johnson Well, it happened to be kinda funny Like a dream. That's it, a dream Oh! Tell us in your own words I dreamed last night I got on the boat to Heaven And by some chance I had brought my dice along And there I stood And I hollered someone fade me But the passengers, they knew right from wrong For the people all said sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat People all said sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat And the devil will drag you under By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down you're rocking the boat I sailed away on that little boat to Heaven And by some chance found a bottle in my fist And there I stood nicely passin' out the whiskey But the passengers were bound to resist For the people all said, "Beware (people all said beware) You are on a heavenly trip" For the people all said, "Beware (people all said beware) You'll scuttle the ship" "And the devil will drag you under By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat" (down) And as I laughed at those passengers to Heaven A great big wave came and washed me overboard And as I sank, and I hollered, "Someone save me" That's the moment I woke up, thank the Lord (thank the Lord, thank the Lord) And I said to myself sit down (said to myself sit down) Sit down you're rockin' the boat I said to myself sit down (said to myself sit down) Sit down you're rockin' the boat And the devil will drag you under With a soul so heavy you'd never float Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat" Sit down you're rockin', rockin' the boat Sit down you're rockin', rockin' the boat Sit down you're rockin', rockin' the boat Sit down you're rockin', rockin' the boat Sit down you're rockin', rockin' the boat Sit down you're rockin', rockin' the boat Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat Sit down (sit down you're rockin' the boat)
