My Daddy was a sinner, but my

Mother was a saintly person

But I ruined my life by drinking, bad

Wives, taking pills and cursing

Rock and Roll you crucified me,

Left me all alone

I never should have turned my back on

The old folks back home



Give me that Church of the Holy Spook

Church of the Holy Spook

Church of the Holy Spook, it's good enough for me

It was good for me dear old Daddy

and my dear old Mammy too

Give me that Church of the Holy Spook

I don't need nothin' new



I believe in the Church of the Holy Spook

I believe that he's in me

The Tao is like a river, so float along with me

When the sacred blood of the Holy Ghost

is boiling in my veins

I think of Jesus on the cross

and I scream out for his pain.



Give me that Church of the Holy Spook

Church of the Holy Spook

Church of the Holy Spook, it's good enough for me

It was good for me dear old Daddy

and my dear old Mammy too

Give me that Church of the Holy Spook

I don't need nothin' new
