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 "i'll 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, "don't you go [g] in!" But i [c] said, "it won't hurt me i'll [f] just step inside And i'll [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 i'll [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, "it's commotion, that's all." "when they get down to pray, i'll just get up and leave For i don't 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 ev'rybody how mean that i was He didn't talk like he thought much of me. I sat in my seat just thinkin' it o'er 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
