Something Got A Hold Of Me Lyrics

Hank williams & audrey williams



[c] at first when I heard of some
people who claim

That the old-time religion was [g] real

I [c] said
"i'll go down, take a [f] look at the crowd

For [c] just that
weak-[g] minded I [c] feel."



[c] I walked up the steps and I
peeked in the door

But the devil said, "don't you go [g]
in!"

But I [c] said, "it won't hurt me I'll [f] just step
inside

And I'll [c] set as far [g] back as I [c] can." [but-]



Chorus

[c] something got a hold of me [praise god]

Yes
something got a hold of [g] me [oh! lord]

I [c] went there to fight, but
I'll [f] tell you that night

God [c] certainly got a [g] hold of [c]
me.



They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands

I said, "it's commotion, that's all."

"when they get
down to pray, I'll just get up and leave

For I don't wanta be seen here
at all."



But I bowed that time, he got started to preach

And he looked straight down at me

He told ev'rybody how mean that I
was

He didn't talk like he thought much of me.



I sat in my
seat just thinkin' it o'er

And then they all started to pray

The
fire fell from heaven, I fell to the floor

I prayed there and God had his
way. [for-]



Chorus
