Methodist Pie

歌詞

I went down to camp meeting the other afternoon For to hear them shout and sing And tell each other how they love one another And make "Hallelujah" ring There was old Uncle Daniel and his brother, Ebenezer Uncle Rufus and his lame gal, Sue Aunt Polly and Melinda and Old Mother Bender Well, you never saw a happier crew Oh little children, I believe Oh little children, I believe Oh little children, I believe I'm a Methodist 'til I die! I'm a Methodist, Methodist 'Tis my belief. I'm a Methodist tiil die Tiil old grim Death comes a'knocking at the door, I'm a Methodist 'til I die Well, they all go there for to have a big time And to eat up that grub on the sly Have applesauce butter with sugar in the gourd And a great big Methodist pie You ought to hear the ringing when they all go to singing That "Good Old Bye and Bye" There's Jimmy McGee in the top of a tree Shouting "How's this for high?" Oh little children, I believe Oh little children, I believe Oh little children, I believe I'm a Methodist 'til I die I'm a Methodist, Methodist 'Tis my belief. I'm a Methodist tlil die Tiil old grim Death comes a'knocking at the door, I'm a Methodist 'til I die Well, they all join hands and they march around a ring And keep a'singing all the while You'd think it was a cyclone coming through the air You can hear them 'bout half a mile Then the bell rings loud and that whole big crowd Breaks ranks and up they fly While I take aboard the sugar in the gourd And I finish off the Methodist pie Oh little children, I believe Oh little children, I believe Oh little children, I believe I'm a Methodist 'til I die I'm a Methodist, Methodist 'Tis my belief. I'm a Methodist till die Tiil old grim Death comes a'knocking at the door, I'm a Methodist 'til I die
