about

One of the most powerful of all the old spirituals. AKA 'Pure Religion' or 'Take the pillow from under my head'.
From the 'Gurt Gasworks Concert'. July 2012.

lyrics

You're gon' need that true religion, hallelu,
You're gon' need that true religion, hallelu,
You're gon' need that true religion, pure religion gonna carry you through,
You're gon' need that true religion, hallelu.

When I'm dead & in my grave, hallelu,
When I'm dead & in my grave, hallelu,
When I'm dead & in my grave, trust in Jesus my soul to save,
You're gon' need that true religion, hallelu.

When I hear my coffin sound, hallelu,
When I hear my coffin sound, hallelu,
When I hear my coffin sound, I was lost but now I'm found.
You're gon' need that true religion, hallelu.

Mother take the pillow from under my head, hallelu
Mother take the pillow from under my head, hallelu
Mother take the pillow from under my head, go make up my dying bed.
Mother take the pillow from under my head, hallelu.

Dig my grave with a silver spade, hallelu,
Dig my grave with a silver spade, hallelu,
Dig my grave with a silver spade, let me down with a golden chain.
You're gon' need that true religion, hallelu.
