Lyrics

If you want your soul set free,
Lift your voice and sing with me
(scat)
If the Devil grabs your hand,
Here's one thing that he can't stand
(scat)
Walkin' down to the river, singing' a hallelujah song,
Oh Lord!
Up jumps the Devil before you, just keep ploddin' along
Tell old Satan how you feel
Get the Devil off your heel
(scat)
Keep your spirit way up high,
Look up to the sky
Stand up and shout "Hallelujah, oh-oh!
Hallelujah, oh-oh!"
If that old Devil should grab your hand
Here's one thing that he can't stand
Shout sister, shout sister, shout!
Oh Lord!
Shout!
Oh Lord!
(scat)
Oh shout, oh shout!
Oh come on down, just a little bit 'o joy!
(scat)
Oh shout, oh sister shout!
(scat)
(scat)
Just tell old Satan how you feel
Get that old Devil right off your heel
Shout sister, shout sister, shout!
Oh Lord!
Shout!
Oh Lord!
