He Calls That Religion - Bo Carter

Well, the preacher used to preach

To try to stay atoned

But now he’s preachin'

Just to buy jellyroll

Well, he calls that religion

Yes, he calls that religion

Well, he calls that religion

But I know he’s goin' to hell when he dies

It was at a church last night

Had desire to be

The old preacher

Was tryin' to take my wife from me

Oh, he call that religion

Yes, he call that religion

Well, he called that religion

I know he’s goin' to hell when he dies

Preacher always

He was a mighty true man

He gives his commence

And he couldn’t understand

Well, he calls that religion

Yes, he called that religion

Well, he called that religion

I know he goin' to hell when he dies

(guitar & fiddle)

'Oh yes, he calls that religion'

He will swear he’s keepin'

God’s command

Have women fussin' 'n fightin'

All over land

And then he call that religion

Well, he calls that religion

Well, he called that religion

But I know he’s goin' to hell when he dies

Therein the people

Stopped goin' to church

They know that preacher

Was tryin-a do too much

But still he called that religion

Still, he called that religion

Well, he called that religion

But I know he’s goin' to hell when he dies

Old Deacon Jones

He was a preachin' King

They caught him 'round the house

Tryin-a shake that thing

Oh, he called that religion

Yes, he called that religion

Well, he called that religion

But I know he goin' to hell when he dies

'Oh yeah, he calls that religion'
