Somethings Got a Hold on me

At first when I heard of some people who claim

That the old-time religion was real

I said I’ll go down take a look at the crowd

For just that weak minded I feel

But the Devil said don’t you go in

But I said It won’t hurt me I’ll just step inside

And set as far back as I can

Yes something got a hold Of me

I went there to fight but I’ll tell you that night

God certainly got a hold of me

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 wanna be seen here at all

And He looked right straight down at me

He told everybody how mean that I was

He didn’t talk like He thought much of me

And then they all started to pray

The fire fell from Heaven I knelt to the floor

I prayed there and God had His way

For I got an experience that night

I’ll never forget it as long as I live

I found that salvation was right

But the Devil said don’t you go in

But I said It won’t hurt me I’ll just step inside

And set as far back as I can
