Barry McGuire - Denomination Blues Lyrics






I want to tell you people
It's a natural fact
Every man don't understand
The Bible alike

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all

The denominations have
No right to fight
They all oughta go on
And treat each other right

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all

It's right to stand together
Wrong to stand apart
But none shall enter heaven
But the pure in heart

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all

Well the primitive Baptists
They believe
That you can't go to heaven
Unless you wash your feet

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all

Well the African Methodists
They believe the same
'Cause they know a denomination
Ain't a thing but a name

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all

You can go to your college
You can go to your school
But if you ain't got Jesus
You's an educated fool

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all

    Why would they exclude Denomination Blues? That's the best song. What a shame.

  2. o.... ....

    Sound quality is embarrassing. only 64 kb/s That is pre World War 2 quality.
    Too bad for such a great album.

  3. D.... P....

    Wonderful album that I still have; music of truths that are always relevant; beautiful melodies from brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen!

  4. S.... H....

    I bought this album years ago (from money I earned from lawn-mowing).  My theology has changed a lot since then but, despite this, the bit about Barry's encounter with dolphins remains one of those touchstones that I go back to mentally as it is what I have encountered  periodically-but not often, that gives me at least some suggestion of a loving creator. Great album and aI want to thank Barry for that bit that has remained with me all these years.

    I was soundly saved at a Second Chapter of Acts concert in Boston in 1977. I still love listening to them!
