And one day

me and Ann here,

we decided we wanted to play church

let me tell what we did

we went out in the back

and started playing church

and my brother was the pastor

Me and Ann here

was the members of the church

and let me tell you something

with Jesus and still be the same

I don't care who you are,

you can be the chiefs of sinners

You will never be the same

and I been going down

to the chruch playing church

came home, still disobedient

didn't want to wash the dishes

didn't want to bring the clothes off the line

didn't want to do anything

and mama said "I'm sick of you

going down to that church playing with God"

Me and Ann there went outside

and we started playing church

sat down on the bottom step

My brother was a preacher

and we were the members of the church

and he would put on some old glasses

and would put them right here on his nose

He said I want you to jump up

and shout Jesus three times

and I jumped up and shouted

Jesus two times, but when I jumped up the third time

something got ahold of me

I couldn't sit back down

Ann ran in the house

She said "Mama Shirley Ann is out there

playing with Lord"

Mama came to the door

and she looked out there and saw me

shouting and dancing all over

the backyard tears running down my face

Mama looked out there and she said
