George Washington's a nice young man A lie he wouldn't tell And when he cut the cherry tree His father gave him hell Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Got glory in my soul My mother takes in washing She does it very well But when they fail to pay her You bet she gives 'em hell Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Got glory in my soul I take my girl a-walking Down on the flowery dell And when the old folks find it out You bet they give us hell Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Got glory in my soul Oh, the engineer man whistled The fireman rang the bell The 'ductor hollered "All aboard And away we go to hell Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Got glory in my soul
