Parker Millsap - Old Time Religion Lyrics






He's got old time religion
Buries his cash in a coffee can
And he makes his decisions
Down on his knees yeah he's a full grown man
And he had a vision
Of a fire it burned up all of the land
You could call it superstition
You could run just as fast as you can
He took a beating
His father screamed at the top of his lungs
An Old Testament reading
If you spare the rod you spoil the son
He's got scars for his bleeding
Fear of God fills everyone
You can listen to Him pleading
Pleadings for the holy son (to)

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me

He's got a King James edition
With all of the words of Christ in red
And he reads the inscription
Every night when he goes to bed
And he goes fishing
For sin in men like Jesus said
Got an old time conviction
Keeps the bodies in the shed
He had a woman
Took her to church every Sunday morn
He said submit to your husband
Submit to me thus, sayeth the Lord
Well he never saw it coming
When she tried to get away in his '34 Ford
Now a widower is strumming on a banjo with a missing cord

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough
It's good enough
It's good enough for me

  21. V.... ....

    So I am just sitting here and smiling. God of the internet bless youtube for making it so easy to find amazing music! And it all started with a guy building a PC mentioning state Michigan, which immediately brought to my mind "lake Michigan" song by Rogue Waves. And somehow I ended up here, after long and very pleasant journey through many amazing pieces. It is 3rd time that I am listening to this particular one and something tells me this number is going to be much higher by the end of the day.
    Give me that old time religion, oh.... Man, it's so good.

  22. I.... D....

    Anyone got the chords?

    I.... D....

    +Ivan Zamora looks like an Am and a Dm, little walk down before the Am

    I.... D....

    yeah thank you. i do an Am to Dm to a G back to Am. it sounds good for the verses but idk what to do on the chorus. it sounds like he starts it of with an Am but idk whats next

    I.... D....

    +Ivan Zamora I play it this way: Am Dm (G) Am E (Am)

  23. K.... ....

    I am so unbelievably jealous of his voice...

    K.... ....

    Great for the spirit peace

  29. J.... G....

    Love this whole CD ! BUY IT ! 

  30. J.... J....

    Wonderful presentation, great back up musicians as well.

  31. T.... H....

    I would like the TAB for Parker's music.  I want to play it!!!

    T.... H....

    just look at his fingers :)

    T.... H....

    Taylor Benner it’s annoying though because every time he plays the chord that goes with the last phrase of the verse the camera doesnt film his hands

  32. S.... H....

    would love to have the lyrics to this song

    S.... H....

    Order his new CD off of Amazon. It's a self-titled CD...Parker Millsap. You won't be disappointed in any of the songs!

    S.... H....

    @Debbie Karkiainen
    Better to buy it on his own website!

    S.... H....

    @Marni Bakst Yes, that makes sense. I hadn't thought about that. 

    S.... H....

    @Debbie Karkiainen
    Yes, his first CD, 'Palisade' is also available on his site but not on Amazon. I ordered and got them in just a few days :)

    S.... H....

    From what I could understand, but I think its pretty accurate

    He's got old time religion
    Buries his cash in a coffee can
    And he makes his decisions
    Down on his knees, he's a full grown man

    And he had a vision
    Of the fire, it burned up all the land
    And you could call it superstition
    You could run just as fast as you can

    He took a beating
    His father screamed at the top of his lungs
    An old testament reading
    If you spare the rod you spoil the son

    He's got scars for his bleeding
    The fear of God fills every one
    You can listen to him pleading
    Pleading for the Holy Son

    (Chorus)
    Give me that old time religion
    Give me that old time religion
    Give me that old time religion
    Its good enough for me

    He's got a King James edition
    With all of the words of Chirst in red
    And he reads the inscription
    Every night when he goes to bed

    And he goes fishing
    For sinning men like Jesus said
    Got an old time conviction
    Keeps the bodies in the shed

    He had a woman
    He took her to church every Sunday morn
    He said submit to your husband
    Submit to me thus sayeth the Lord

    Well he never saw it coming
    When she tried to get away in his '34 Ford
    Now a widower a strumming
    On a Banjo with a missing chord

    (Chorus)

    (Chorus)

  33. L.... ....

    wow, what a voice!
