the carter family - something got a hold of me lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when first i heard of the people who claim
this old-time religion was real
i says i’ll go down, take a look at the crowd
it’s just the weak-minded, i feel

[chorus]
but something got a hold of me
yes, something got a hold of me
i went there to fight, but on that night
there’s something got a hold of me

[verse 2]
i walked right down, peeped in at the door
and the devil says, don’t you go in
i says i’ll go in, for that will not hurt
and sit as far back as i can

[chorus]

[verse 3]
about that time he got up to preach
and he looked right down upon me
he told everybody how mean i had been
don’t think he thought much of me

[chorus]

[verse 4]
they sing and shout and they all clasp their hands
and they all got down on their knees
when the fire fell from heaven it fell upon me
and then i fell to the floor

[chorus]

[verse 5]
so now i’ve learnt and no need to doubt
that the old-time religion is real
i have a spirit i’ll never forget
that something got a hold of me

[chorus]
