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 tents up

(really it is)

The words out -

(truly, it is)

An has been since the dawn

(hear me tell ya)

The calls out

(really it is)

An were bout

(tendin tbiz)

To git this meetin on - hear me tellin you

Brothers n sisters who want to repent

(thats right!)

Youll find what youve been lookin for right here in the tent



Cheryls solo:

Lend an ear an youll 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



Its 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

Twin me, I can testify to it



Sweet, sweet the angels 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 choirs all set

Be steady

(pray)

See the people fillin them pews

Be willin

(all)

To announce without a regret

Its 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

Theyre nearly starved cause theyre waitin

For food for the soul, yeah



Starved cause theyre waitin for what will not grow old



Preachers openin up the book

Hes gonna pause awhile an take a look

n then hell start tellin everyone

jes how t do, yeah



Start tellin everyone jus whats true, yeah



Sister emmy lou done gone t shoutin

An jumpin cause she feels the spirit

The congregations stompin its feet

An everybodys 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

Hes our teacher

When he says "im callin sinners right now you hear?

Im callin sinners right to me"

When ol satan grabs your soul

When he grabs you

It takes the lords true word to break his hold,

Trouble nabs you

So I say, "you got to listen mostly to me.

You got to listen closely."



Dont 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 thats a fact

He wants you too

If anyone can stop him, I can

Thats why Im the preacher man"



We hear the word

We hear your voice

We know there really isnt any other choice



Head fheaven tday

(were 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 ycan

(yes!)

Sinner man

(yes!)

Git on as fast as you can



(repeat)



Youve heard the sermon sublime

Down south camp meetin time!
