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 "ill 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, "dont you go [g] in!" But I [c] said, "it wont hurt me Ill [f] just step inside And Ill [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 Ill [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, "its commotion, thats all." "when they get down to pray, Ill just get up and leave For I dont 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 evrybody how mean that I was He didnt talk like he thought much of me. I sat in my seat just thinkin it oer 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-] Chorus
