Somethin' Got A Hold Of Me

Hank Williams (with Audrey Williams)

C

At first when I heard of some people who claim

G

That the old-time religion was real

C F

I said "I’ll go down, take a look at the crowd

C G C

For just that weak minded I feel."

C

I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door,

G

But the Devil said, "Don’t you go in!"

C F

But I said, "It won’t hurt me, I’ll just step inside,

C G C

And I’ll set as far back as I can."

Chorus:

C

Somethin' got a hold of me, praise God!

G

Yes, somethin' got a hold of me, oh Lord!

C F

I went there to fight, but I’ll tell you that night,

C G C

God certainly got a hold of me.

C

They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands,

G

I said, "It’s commotion, that’s all."

C F

"When they get down to pray, I’ll just get up and leave,

C G C

For I don’t wanna be seen here at all."

C

But about that time, he got started to preach,

G

And he looked straight down at me.

C F

He told ev’rybody how mean that I was,

C G C

He didn’t talk like he thought much of me.

C

I sat in my seat just thinkin’ it o’er

G

And then they all started to pray

C F

The fire fell from heaven, I fell to the floor

C G C

I prayed there and God had his way.

Repeat Chorus
