Something Got a Hold of Me - Hank Williams
At first when I heard of some people who claim That the old-time religion was real I said "I'll go down, take a look at the crowd For just that weak-minded I feel." I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door But the devil said, "don't you go in!" But I said, "it won't hurt me I'll just step inside And I'll set as far back as I can." (but-) [Chorus] Something got a hold of me (praise god) Yes something got a hold of me (oh! lord) I went there to fight, but I'll tell you that night God certainly got a hold of 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]
