A Good Old Gospel Song

(Intro/Maura Easter):
Keep on the sunny side
Always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day
It will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

Daddy led the singin' at our little church
He got me on up when it was my turn
I took off on a verse of I'll See You in the Rapture
But the key was higher than the rafters
Well, my face turned red and I ran down the aisle
Kickin' and screamin', I was flailin' and cryin'
People musta through that I was in the Spirit
'Cause I tell ya for miles you could hear it

We praised him on the six-string
And our troubles rolled away
Heavens opened up
As we shouted and we sang
Give me that old-time religion
And everybody started clappin' along
Nothin' moves a heart
Like a good old gospel song

Well, the Hardins were arguing when they walked in
Pullin' and tuggin' and fussin' at the kids
And old farmer Jack had been praying for rain
You could see the drought on his face
Then the organ started that heavenly sound
The Holy Spirit came pourin' down
The Hardins were smilin' while their kids behaved
And old farmer Jack's hands were raised

And we praised him on the six-string
And our troubles rolled away
Heavens opened up
As we shouted and we sang
Give me that old-time religion
And everybody started clappin' along
Nothin' moves a heart
Like a good old gospel song

We praised him on the six-string
And our troubles rolled away
Heavens opened up
As we shouted and we sang
Give me that old-time religion
And everybody started clappin' along
Nothin' moves a heart
Like a good old gospel song
Nothin' moves a heart
Like a good old gospel song
Gospel song
There ain't nothin' that can move a heart
Like a good old gospel song...
