My Daddy was a sinner, but my

Mother was a saintly person

But I ruined my life by drinking,

bad wives, taking pills and cursing

Rock and roll you crucified me,

left me all alone

I never should have turned my back

on the old folks back at home



Give me that Church of the Holy

Spook, Church of the Holy Spook,

Church of the Holy Spook it's good

enough for me

I was good for my dear old Daddy

and my dear old Mammy too,

Give me that Church of the Holy

Spook, I don't need nothing new



I believe in the Church of the Holy Spook, I

believe that he's in me

The Tao is like a river, so float along with me

When the sacred blood of the Holy Ghost is

boiling in my veins

I think of Jesus on the cross and I

scream out for his pain
