Gonna get me religion
I′m gonna join the Baptist church
Gonna get me religion
I'm gonna join the Baptist church
You know I′ll be a preacher man
So I don't have to work

One sister jumped up and
Oh now, she began to shout
One sister jumped up and
She began to shout
Curse that damn corn liquor
Glad that whiskey's going out

I was in the pulpit
Just a jumpin′ up and down
I was in the pulpit
Just a jumpin′ up and down
Sisters in the corner now
Singing "Alabama Bound"

Well I wish I had
Wish I had a heaven of my own
Well I wish I had
Wish I had a heaven of my own
You know I'd give my women
Every single one a good home

Gonna get me religion
I′m gonna join the Baptist church
Gonna get me religion
I'm gonna join the Baptist church
You know I′ll be a preacher man
Woah, so I don't have to work
