old time revival

lyric + music by skylark

well it’s friday night and i’m making my way

cross another side of town

there’s a big old tent they been raising all day

and the crowd is gathering round

all the lord’s children gonna shout tonight

no, it don’t matter if you black or white

if you a disbeliever, well that’s all right

there’s a place for you, i know

come on, let’s go

got my eye on a pretty girl in the second row

when the band start kicking and they pass the hat

you know the preacher really gonna treat you to a show

talking bout a old time revival

yonder by the fishing hole

bringing my old trusty bible so i can read it to my soul

i’m gonna be saved in the fire where the holy rollers roll

talking bout a old time revival

lay me in a river

make my spirit whole

old man taylor is on his knees

got his hands up to the sky

jason’s momma got a tambourine

and she’s shaking it way up high

when big sista hattie get the holy ghost

she start to jumping, don’t you get too close

oh, that woman is really the most

and lord, don’t the preacher know

watch him go

strutting and a-dripping sweat

head to toe

and turning die-hard heathens into true believers

y’all be singing out before he let em go

talking bout a old time revival

yonder by the fishing hole

bringing my old trusty bible so i can read it to my soul

i’m gonna be saved in the fire where the holy rollers roll

talking bout a old time revival

lay me in a river

make my spirit holy

cause i need some healing now

won’t you save me with some music

sweet sanctified music

talking bout a old time revival

yonder by the fishing hole

bringing my old trusty bible so i can read it to my soul

i’m gonna be saved in the fire where the holy rollers roll

talking bout a old time revival

lay me in a river

make my spirit whole

holy, holy, holy
