Lyrics:
on rubbin' at that thing
Notes: This was played by the Dead a
Dozen times in 1970 and 1971
And before that in 1964 by Mother McCree's
Uptown Jug Champions
avowals of
Religious faith to maintain an
Aura of respectability our
Civilization, such as it is
Was shaped by religion
And the men who aspire to public
Hopkins, I'm Jimmy, this is Bully
Why do I have to go through this cruelty?
I got fucked over by a bitch for the twelfth time
Cut her off for good I hope it
twenty-five words
And uh, I couldn't do it, I wrote out five pages
And uh, I have it here
It's uh, have it by accident, actually, ha
But-but I, I-I'd like
(give me that old time religion) [Repeat]
Gimme that old time religion [Repeat 2x]
It's good enough for me.
It was good. (It was good.) It was good
priests, no praying, no fasting
All the blessing will be free
And everyone belongs by performing good deeds
That's the new religion and I'm founding it!
I'm
and forth 'tween here and hustlin'
I don't wanna time travel no mo'
I wanna be here, my thinkin'
Say, on this porch I'm rockin'
Back and forth like Lightnin
too smooth, no indictments (hey)
Yeah, Freakazoid lightnin' (lightnin')
57 90 and it's bitin' (bite)
When I seen a mil' I got excited (mil')
For
man alive
He said I'd give a rib for just somebody to talk to
Well thunder and lightnin' out providin'
You came strollin' by
She said, call me up,
enough for me
So give me that Old Time Religion
Gimme that Old Time Religion
Give me that Old Time Religion
It's Good Enough For Me
Give me that Old Time
that's good enough for me
So give me that old time religion
Gimme that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me
So give me
of life
It's collectively enjoining good and forbidding evil
It's doing right by your neighbour and treating people as equals
It's expanding your
remember when
A flash of lightnin' drove us in
We were soaked down to the skin
By the time we climbed inside
And I don't remember what was poundin' more
feels good
(Amen) woo
(Amen) guess I'm lucky
(Amen) some of us don't get a second chance
(Amen) but I ain't blowin' this one
(Amen) nah, man
(Amen)
all kinds of sins and evil deeds, and
By performing all kinds of righteous good deeds
And Joseph's brothers came, and when they entered,
He recognized
to all by His knowledge, ready to answer
They said, O Sali, you have been amongst us as a figure of good hope, and we wished for you to be our chief
Till
old time religion
Gimme that old time religion
Gimme that old time religion
It's good enough for me
It will take us all to heaven
It will take us all
I the old time religion.
Give I the old time religion.
For it is good enough for I.
If it was good for Moses and Aaron.
If it was good for David
concerned by some wayward teens
Headed by shredder, they were anything but good
Misguided, unloved, they called them, the foot
They could terrorize and be
When yer head gets twisted and yer mind grows numb
When you think you're too old, too young, too smart or too dumb
When yer laggin' behind an'
so good when the old man would
Play his songs on a hot summer night
You could walk by and hear the organ sigh
Deep down you felt everything was alright
feels good
(Amen) woo
(Amen) guess I'm lucky
(Amen) some of us don't get a second chance
(Amen) but I ain't blowin' this one
(Amen) nah, man
(Amen)
ever seems to know
It’s only a black hole of expediency
And I'm about to be killed by the State of Georgia
And it don’t look good for me
And I'm
Traditional, arranged
By Arlo Guthrie
Come all you old time cowboys
And listen to my song
Please do not grow weary
I'll not detain you long
