Oho glory-o, now I am the Lord's disciple
Oho glory-o, now hand me down my bible
I like my liquor and my livin' hard
May the Lord save my soul
My salvation was the turn of a card
My heart's as black as coal
But everybody's got the right to go wrong
Everybody's got to sing my song
Everybody's got the right to go wrong
Sing my song, sing my song
Oho glory-o, now I am the Lord's disciple
Oho glory-o, now hand me down my bible
Oho glory-o, now I am the Lord's disciple
Oho glory-o, now hand me down my bible
I don't give a damn for any man
As all the world can see
The time has come to make a stand
To shine your light on me
Come on people let your life begin
Come on now let the sun shine in
Come on people let your life begin
Let it in, let it in
Oho glory-o, now I am the Lord's disciple
Oho glory-o, now hand me down my bible
Oho glory-o, now I am the Lord's disciple
Oho glory-o, now hand me down my bible
Oho glory-o, now I am the Lord's disciple
Oho glory-o, now hand me down my bible
