Tommy James - Church Street Soul Revival Lyrics






Everybody come on,
Sit yourself right down.
You know we been a-wait' for your arrival, yeah,
Come on, gonna have a Church Street soul revival,
Church Street soul revival.
Gonna have a good time,
Drink a little moonshine.
Brother Taylor brought his Bible, yeah,
Come on, gonna have a Church Street soul revival,
Church Street soul revival.
Gonna sing, gonna pray to the Lord,
Ain't no doubt about it.
Have a Church Street soul revival,
Gonna laugh, gonna sing, gonna shout,
Gonna laugh, gonna sing, gonna shout, yeah.
Hallelujah! Revive your soul!
[Repeat x7]
Everybody come on,
Sit yourself right down.
Brother Taylor brought his Bible, yeah,
Come on, gonna have a Church Street soul revival,
Church Street soul revival.
Gonna have a Church Street soul revival.
[Repeat and fade]

    The Exiles(Exile) Have a great cover of this song. This was the "B" side of Draggin' The Line a #4 BB hit.

    Richard Smith Actually, “Bits and Pieces” was the B-side of “Draggin’ The Line” here in the U.S. when “Draggin’ the Line” was released as an A-side single in May 1971. The former “Draggin’ The Line” was the B-side of James’ “ Church Street Soul Revival” (also in the U.S.) in late 1970.

    Excellent song! I at one time had the album, and played it over and over..I was 17. I saw Tommy James at Worlds of Fun, In KC in 1988. My gf didnt like him but he was great to me! he is so underrated! And a legend to boot!
