Hank williams & audrey williams



[c] at first when i heard of some people who claim

That the old-time religion was [g] real

I [c] said "i'll go down, take a [f] look at the crowd

For [c] just that weak-[g] minded i [c] feel."



[c] i walked up the steps and i peeked in the door

But the devil said, "don't you go [g] in!"

But i [c] said, "it won't hurt me i'll [f] just step inside

And i'll [c] set as far [g] back as i [c] can." [but-]



Chorus

[c] something got a hold of me [praise god]

Yes something got a hold of [g] me [oh! lord]

I [c] went there to fight, but i'll [f] tell you that night

God [c] certainly got a [g] hold of [c] me.



They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands

I said, "it's commotion, that's all."

"when they get down to pray, i'll just get up and leave

For i don't wanta be seen here at all."



But i bowed that time, he got started to preach

And he looked straight down at me

He told ev'rybody how mean that i was

He didn't talk like he thought much of me.



I sat in my seat just thinkin' it o'er

And then they all started to pray

The fire fell from heaven, i fell to the floor

I prayed there and god had his way. [for-]
