Methodist Pie Lyrics

Methodist Pie lyrics

1: I went down to camp meeting the other afternoon, 

For to hear them
shout and sing 

And tell each other how they love one another 

And
make "Hallelujah" ring. 



2: There was old Uncle Daniel and his
brother, Ebenezer, 

Uncle Rufus and his lame gal, Sue, 

Aunt Polly
and Melinda and Old Mother Bender. 

Well, you never saw a happier crew.




Ref: 

Oh little children, I believe! 

Oh little
children, Ibelieve! 

Oh little children, I believe! 

I'm a
Methodist 'til I die! 

I'm a Methodist, Methodist! 

'Tis my belief.
I'm a Methodist'til die! 

Tiil old grim Death comes a- knocking at the
door, I'm a Methodist 'til I die! 



3: Well, they all go there for
to have a big time 

And to eat up that grub on the sly, 

Have
applesauce butter with sugar in the gourd 

And a great big Methodist pie!




4: You ought to hear the ringing when they all go to singing 

That "Good Old Bye-and-Bye"! 

There's Jimmy McGee in the top of a tree


Shouting "How's this for high?" 



Ref: 



5: Well,
they all join hands and they march around a ring. 

And keep a-singing all
the while. 

You'd think it was a cyclone coming through the air. 

You can hear them 'bout half a mile! 



6: Then the bell rings
loud and that whole big crowd 

Breaks ranks and up they fly, 

While
I take aboard the sugar in the gourd 

And I finish off the Methodist pie.
