Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It’s good enough for me
It was good for the Hebrew children
It was good for the Hebrew children
It was good for the Hebrew children
And it’s good enough for me
It will bring you out of bondage
It will bring you out of bondage
It will bring you out of bondage
And it’s good enough for me
It will do when the world’s on fire
It will do when the world’s on fire
It will do when the world’s on fire
And it’s good enough for me!
It was good for our mothers.
It was good for our mothers.
It was good for our mothers.
And it’s good enough for me!
