Mahalia Jackson ( /məˈheɪljə/ mə-HAYL-yə; October 26, 1911 – January 27, 1972) was an American gospel singer. Possessing a powerful contralto voice, she was referred to as "The Queen of Gospel". Jackson became one of the most influential gospel singers in the world and was heralded internationally as a singer and civil rights activist. She was described by entertainer Harry Belafonte as "the single most powerful black woman in the United States".

Some say they done cut whisky out, but you can have a little wine
Most everybody gets on a drunk by drinkin' this ol' moonshine
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change

Some of our members gets on a drunk, they speak their sober minds
And when they raise the devil, they put all the blame on 'shine
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change

Some of our preachers just as bad as the members about this ol' moonshine
They'll try to make love with every woman they meet, just fine and drinkin' 'shine
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change

Then some of our children are naked, and the mothers never go
But the fathers make that mighty bitey row for the women of the 'shine and shows
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change

They say that yellow corn makes the best kind of 'shine
Well, they better turn that corn to bread and stop that makin' 'shine
For God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change

I know you don't like this song, just because I speak my mind
But I'll sing this song just as much as I please, because I don't drink 'shine
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
Now, God don't like it and I don't either
It's them that's gonna change
