Something Got a Hold of Me - Hank Williams, Audrey 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.»

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 want 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.
