The sister tells the deacon that she didn't have the time, Felt religion coming on Just then somebody got up turn'd the lights all out And you ought to heard that sister shout. She hollered Brother, if you want to spread joy, Just pray for the lights to stay out. She called on Deacon for to kneel and pray, You ought to heard that sister shout. Throw'd up both hands and got way back, Took two steps forw'd and ball'd the Jack, She hollered Brother if you want to spread joy, Just pray for the lights to stay out. Father tried to quieten down his lovin' flock, Call'd on all the saints above ; All that he could hear way down there in the dark Was a baby, Honey, turtle dove. Deacon grabs his bible firmly in his hand, Pray'd be show'd wrong from right. Just then as if he pray'rs were answered from above, Someone got up turn'd on the light, He feels himself a slippin' grabs the first gal near, And she sings this sweet song in his ear. She hollered Brother, if you want to spread joy, Just pray for the lights to go out. She called on Deacon for to kneel and pray, You ought to heard that sister shout. Throw'd up both hands and got way back, Took two steps forw'd and ball'd the Jack, She hollered Brother if you want to spread joy, Just pray for the lights to go out."},{"label":"Spencer Subject","value":["Black music - subjects."]},{"label":"Cover Art Description","value":"blue/white/gold ; photos of Renton Tunnah, Dot Barnett, Will E.
