Something Got A Hold On Me — текст песни (Stonewall Jackson)

At first when I heard of some people who say that old time religion is real
I said I`ll go down take a look at the crowd for it`s just a weak mind that I feel
I walked up the steps and peeked then at the door the devil said don`t you go in
I said it won`t hurt me I just stepped inside and said as for back as I can
They sang like they meant it with all of their hearts I said it`s emotion that`s all
When they get down to pray I`ll just get up and leave
I don`t won`t to be seen here at all
The preacher got up and he started to preach as he looked right straight down at me
He told everybody just how mean I was didn`t talk like he thought so much of me
But something got a hold on me yes something got a hold on me
I went there to fight but oh my that night God certainly got a hold on me

I sat in my seat just a thinkin` it o`er and they all started to pray
The fire fell from heaven I knelt to the door I`ve prayed there as God had his way
At last now I know that I don`t need to doubt I got an experience that night
I`ll never forget it as long as I live I`ve found that salvation is right
Yes something got a hold on me...
