Miss Alabama Joplin was a yaller gal,
who never went to church at all.
She only laughed at poor old Parson White,
when round to save her soul he'd call.
But Lord when thew new preacher came to town last week
his winnin' smile just turned her head
and when he called for sinners on baptizin' day
she rushed right up to him and said:

Oh Parson won't you hold me,
I feel religion comin' on
Take me in the river
and wash my sins away,
I can hear the choir a singin'
"I love Him more each day,"
I know I'm talkin' queer
but hold me Parson, dear,
I feel religion comin' on.

Oh Parson won't you hold me,
I feel religion comin' on
Take me in the river
and wash my sins away,
I can hear the choir a singin'
"I love Him more each day,"
I know I'm talkin' queer
but hold me Parson, dear,
I feel religion comin' on.

Last Sunday that new preacher preached a sermon 'bout
the Mary Janes that we gals wore.
"You'd better wear plain clothes," he said,
"like my wife does, stay home,
learn to cook what's more.
When he said wife, Miss Alabama jumped up quick.
"I'll razor you," she cried right out.
The congregation laughed and hollered "shame on you"
then someone in back 'gan to shout:

Oh Parson won't you hold me,
I feel religion comin' on
Take me in the river
and wash my sins away,
I can hear the choir a singin'
"I love Him more each day,"
I know I'm talkin' queer
but hold me Parson, dear,
I feel religion comin' on.

Oh Parson won't you hold me,
I feel religion comin' on
Take me in the river
and wash my sins away,
I can hear the choir a singin'
"I love Him more each day,"
I know I'm talkin' queer
but hold me Parson, dear,
I feel religion comin' on.
