He Calls That Religion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, the preacher used to preach
To try to stay atoned
But now he's preachin'
Just to buy jellyroll
Well, he calls that religion
Yes, he calls that religion
Well, he calls that religion
But I know he's goin' to hell when he dies
It was at a church last night
Had desire to be
The old preacher
Was tryin' to take my wife from me
Oh, he call that religion
Yes, he call that religion
Well, he called that religion
I know he's goin' to hell when he dies
Preacher always
He was a mighty true man
He gives his commence
And he couldn't understand
Well, he calls that religion
Yes, he called that religion
Well, he called that religion
I know he goin' to hell when he dies
'Oh yes, he calls that religion'
He will swear he's keepin'
God's command
Have women fussin' 'n fightin'
All over land
And then he call that religion
Well, he calls that religion
Well, he called that religion
But I know he's goin' to hell when he dies
Therein the people
Stopped goin' to church
They know that preacher
Was tryin-a do too much
But still he called that religion
Still, he called that religion
Well, he called that religion
But I know he's goin' to hell when he dies
Old Deacon Jones
He was a preachin' King
They caught him 'round the house
Tryin-a shake that thing
Oh, he called that religion
Yes, he called that religion
Well, he called that religion
But I know he goin' to hell when he dies
'Oh yeah, he calls that religion'.
