I'm gonne join the baptist church

Gonna get me a religion

I'm gonna join the pabtist church

Gonna be a baptist preacher

So that I won't have to work

Well I'll be in the pulpit, jumping up and down

Yes I'll be in the pulpit, jumping up and down

I'll be hollerin good news for miles around

My sister jumped up, she began to grin

Yeh my sister jumped up and she began to grin

She said good lord have mercy

Please forgive me for my sins
