Something Got A Hold Of Me (Rare Radio Performances)At first when I heard of some people who claimThat the old-time religion was real I said "I'll go down, take a look at the crowd For just that weak-minded I feel." I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door But the Devil said, "Don't you go in!" But I said, "It won't hurt me I'll just step inside And I'll set as far back as I can." [CHORUS] Something Got A Hold Of Me (Praise God) Yes Something Got A Hold Of Me (Oh! Lord) I went there to fight, but I'll tell you that night God certainly got a hold of me. They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands I said, "It's commotion, that's all." "When they get down to pray, I'll just get up and leave For I don't want be seen here at all." But I bowed that time, he got started to preach And he looked straight down at me He told ev'rybody how mean that I was He didn't talk like he thought much of me. I sat in my seat just thinkin' it o'er And then they all started to pray The fire fell from Heaven, I fell to the floor I prayed there and God had His way. (For-) [CHORUS] |
