Pray For The Lights To Go Out - Phil Harris[00:00:00]

Father was the Deacon in the hard shell church[00:00:11]

Way down south where I was born[00:00:14]

Why the people used to come to[00:00:16]

Church from miles around [00:00:18]

Just to hear the holy word go on[00:00:19]

Father grabbed the sister[00:00:22]

Around the neck and says[00:00:23]

Sister won't you sing this song[00:00:24]

The sister tells the deacon[00:00:27]

That she didn't have time;[00:00:28]

Felt religion coming on[00:00:29]

Just the somebody got up[00:00:32]

Turned the lighs all out[00:00:33]

And you ought to heard[00:00:35]

The sister shout[00:00:36]

She hollered brother[00:00:37]

If you want to spread joy [00:00:39]

Just pray for the lights[00:00:40]

To stay out[00:00:41]

She called on Deacon[00:00:43]

For to kneel and pray [00:00:44]

You ought to hear[00:00:45]

The sister shout[00:00:46]

Throwed up both hands[00:00:48]

And got way back;[00:00:49]

Took two steps forward[00:00:51]

And balled the jack[00:00:52]

She hollered brother[00:00:53]

If you wanna spread joy [00:00:55]

Pray for the lights to stay out[00:00:56]

Father tried to quieten down[00:01:20]

His loving flock;[00:01:22]

Called on all the Saints above;[00:01:23]

All that he could hear down[00:01:25]

There in the dark[00:01:27]

Were honey turtle dove[00:01:28]

Deacon grabbed his Bible firmly[00:01:31]

In his hand [00:01:32]

And prayed to be showed[00:01:33]

Wrong from right[00:01:34]

Just then the Deacon's prayers[00:01:36]

Were answered from above[00:01:37]

Someone got up[00:01:38]

And turned on the lights[00:01:39]

He felt himself a slipping[00:01:41]

Grabbed the first girl near[00:01:42]

And she sings this song in his ear[00:01:44]

She hollered brother now[00:01:46]

If you wanna spread joy[00:01:48]

Just pray for the lights to go out[00:01:49]

She called on Deacon[00:01:51]

For to kneel and pray [00:01:53]

You oughta heard[00:01:54]

That sister shout[00:01:55]

Throwed up both hands[00:01:57]

And got way back [00:01:58]

Took two steps[00:01:59]

And balled the jack[00:02:01]

She hollered brother[00:02:02]

If you wanna spread joy [00:02:03]

Just pray for the lights to go out[00:02:05]

Throwed up both hands[00:02:07]

And got way back[00:02:09]

Took two steps forward[00:02:10]

And said send me Jack[00:02:11]

She hollered brother[00:02:13]

If you wanna spread joy[00:02:14]

Just pray for the lights[00:02:16]

To stay out[00:02:18]
