Sister Mavis - Tami Neilson

Well now, some people dig Matthew, Mark, Luke or John

The four boys could preach it, son, don’t get me wrong

When I need something, make me sing and shout

I throw my hands up and drive the Devil out

Make me moan, make me cry

Stand up and testify

Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Mahalia and Rosetta

No, you won’t find a better Holy Trinity to save us

Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

She gets the holy rollin', sets your soul on fire

The saints get faint sittin' up in the choir

No matter where you are she’s gonna take you to church

Marchin' on to freedom from another man’s curse

Make me moan, make me cry

Stand up and testify

Send Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Mahalia and Rosetta

No, you won’t find a better Holy Trinity to save us

Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Hey, send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Mahalia and Rosetta

You won’t find a better Holy Trinity to save us

Send Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Send Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

Come on and send Sister Mavis

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, she gonna sock it to ya

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, she gonna sock it to ya
