Down South Camp Meetin` — текст песни (Manhattan Transfer)





Saints and sinners, come one, come all
(Have a little revival)
Losers, winners, answer my call
Cause right now the tent`s up
(Really it is)
The word`s out -
(Truly, it is)
An` has been since the dawn
(Hear me tell ya)
The call`s out
(Really it is)
An` we`re `bout
(Tendin` t`biz)
To git this meetin` on - Hear me tellin` you
Brothers n` sisters who want to repent
(That`s right!)
You`ll find what you`ve been lookin` for right here in the tent

Cheryl`s solo:
Lend an ear an` you`ll see
Cause when it comes t` needin` savin` ain` nobody
knows it better than me
I was so low that I know that only a miracle like this is
the only way t` heavenly bliss

It`s really the truth, Lawdy, I know it
I know it `cuz I been taken through it
Now the spirits in me an` allowed the Lord
t`win me, I can testify to it

Sweet, sweet the angel`s song
Sweet the feelin` I been searchin` for
for ever so long
I never again imagine livin` life
like I was livin` when I lived wrong

Git ready
(Sing)
Here they come! the choir`s all set
Be steady
(Pray)
See the people fillin` them pews
Be willin`
(All)
To announce without a regret
It`s thrillin`!
(Day)
Tell the world the wonderful news

Folks are troopin` in from far `n near
f` news that they can hardly wait to hear
They`re nearly starved `cause they`re waitin`
for food for the soul, yeah

Starved `cause they`re waitin` for what will not grow old

Preacher`s openin` up the book
He`s gonna pause awhile an` take a look
`n then he`ll start tellin` everyone
`jes how t` do, yeah

Start tellin` everyone jus` what`s true, yeah

Sister Emmy Lou done gone t` shoutin`
an jumpin` `cause she feels the spirit
the congregation`s stompin` it`s feet
an` everybody`s movin` outta their seat
They really gonna get this meetin` on
An` praise the Lord until the dawn

(Yeah) - Hear that preacher spread the word
(Hear that Preacher)
`cause its the greatest word you ever heard
He`s our teacher
When he says I`m callin` sinners right now you hear?
I`m callin` sinners right to me
When ol` Satan grabs your soul
When he grabs you
It takes the Lord`s true word to break his hold,
Trouble nabs you
So I say, You got to listen mostly to me.
You got to listen closely.

Don`t let the devil catch y` nappin`
Gotta` keep the vigil every minute
or the devil surely git you

Watch your step `n how you act
Watch what you do
Mister Scratch is here, an` that`s a fact
He wants you too
If anyone can stop him, I can
That`s why I`m the Preacher Man

We hear the word
We hear your voice
We know there really isn`t any other choice

Head f`heaven t`day
(We`re on the gospel train)
We can show you the way
(Relieve all strain)
Leave your cares and your woes
(Yes!)
Heaven knows
(Yes!)
Y` dodge that devil in his fine fancy clothes
(Yes!)
Come git aboard
(We still got space)
Hear the word of the Lord
(We saved your place)
Save your soul while y`can
(Yes!)
Sinner man
(Yes!)
Git on as fast as you can

(Repeat)

You`ve heard the sermon sublime
Down South Camp Meetin` time!
