I know of sin by the things momma prayed I know of heaven by the line at its gate I know of truth and America's way So come drink the water if you want to be saved Don't drink the water if it's not from my stream It's all still water if it's not flowing free Don't drink the water at the watering hole If you ain't got money, it can't save your soul An'all God's people said amen An'all God's people said amen I know of sin by the things momma prayed I know of heaven by the line at its gate I know of truth and America's way So come drink the water if you want to be saved An'all God's people said amen An'all God's people said amen Nobody prays unless they lose a son Don't believe in God till a war's to be won I know of lies by the truth I've been told The biggest one's that we're not getting old It's not a sin if it don't make me cry He's not the devil unless there's fire in his eyes It ain't the ghost if it don't speak in tongue It's not a victory 'till the battles been won An' all God's people said amen An' all God's people said amen
