(Mississippi Fred McDowell)

Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want

Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want

Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want

You gotta call him up and tell him what you want



Oh... the line ain't never busy... tell him what you want

Oh... the line ain't never busy... tell him what you want

The line ain't never busy... tell him what you want

Call him up... and tell him what you want



Now... if you're feeling down and out... tell him what you want

If you're feeling down and out... tell him what you want

If you're feeling down and out... tell him what you want

Call him up and tell him what you want



If you're sick and you want to get well... tell him what you want

If you're sick and you want to get well... tell him what you want

If you're sick and you want to get well... tell him what you want

You gotta call him up and tell him what you want



If your soul's in danger... tell him what you want

If your soul's in danger... tell him what you want

If your soul's in danger... tell him what you want

Call him up and tell him what you want



Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want

Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want

Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want

You gotta call him up and tell him what you want
