Denomination Blues, Pt. 1

I want to tell you the natural fact

Every man don't understand the Bible alike

But that's all, now, I tell you that's all

But you better have Jesus, I tell you that's all

Well, denominations have no right to fight

They ought to just treat each other right

And that's all, I'll tell you that's all

But you better have Jesus, I'll tell you that's all

The Primitive Baptists, they believe

You can't get to Heaven unless'n you wash your feet

But that's all, now, I tell you that's all

But you better have Jesus, I'll tell you that's all

The onliest Primitive that has any part

Is the one that does the washing with the pure in heart

And that's all, I tell you that's all

But you better have Jesus, now, I'll tell you that's all

Now, the Missionary Baptists, they believe

Go under the water and not to wash his feet

And that's all, I tell you that's all

But you better have Jesus, now, I tell you that's all

Now, the A.M.E. Methodists, they believe

Sprinkle the head, to not to wash the feet

And that's all, now, I'll tell you that's all

But you better have Jesus, now, I tell you that's all

Now the A.M.E. Methodists, they believe

Sprinkle the head and not to wash the feet

And that's all, I tell you that's all

But you better have Jesus, now, I tell you that's all

Now the African Methodists, they believes the same

'Cause they know denominations ain't a thing but a name

And that's all, now, I tell you that's all

But you better have Jesus, now, I tell you that's all

Now the Holiness People, when they came in

They said, "Boys, we can make it by livin' above sin"

But that's all, I tell you that's all

But you better have Jesus, now, I'll tell you that's all

Now, the Church of God has it in their mind

That they can get to Heaven without the sacrament wine

But that's all, now, I'll tell you that's all

But you better have Jesus, now, I'll tell you that's all
