Russell and His Orchestra, 1930-1934, Chronological Classics, vol. 606.
Just hear them sisters groanin',
And hear them brothers moanin',
Repentin' and atonin',
On revival day!
They're talkin' to the spirit,
Just like they see and hear it,
They're sinful and they fear it,
On revival day!
When that congregation starts to
sing,
Nothin' in this world don't mean
a thing!
Oh, glory hallelujah!
Makes you feel so peculiar,
The devil cannot rule ya,
On revival day!
Glory, glory,
It's so purifyin'!
Glory, glory,
Wash my sins away.
Lordy, Lordy,
He's just like a lion,
Lordy, Lordy,
I'm reformed today!
