《Pray For The Lights To Go Out》歌词

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

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

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

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

[00:00:18] Church from miles around

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

[00:00:22] Father grabbed the sister

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

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

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

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

[00:00:29] Felt religion coming on

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

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

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

[00:00:36] The sister shout

[00:00:37] She hollered brother

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

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

[00:00:41] To stay out

[00:00:43] She called on Deacon

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

[00:00:45] You ought to hear

[00:00:46] The sister shout

[00:00:48] Throwed up both hands

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

[00:00:51] Took two steps forward

[00:00:52] And balled the jack

[00:00:53] She hollered brother

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

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

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

[00:01:22] His loving flock;

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

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

[00:01:27] There in the dark

[00:01:28] Were honey turtle dove

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

[00:01:32] In his hand

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

[00:01:34] Wrong from right

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

[00:01:37] Were answered from above

[00:01:38] Someone got up

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

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

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

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

[00:01:46] She hollered brother now

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

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

[00:01:51] She called on Deacon

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

[00:01:54] You oughta heard

[00:01:55] That sister shout

[00:01:57] Throwed up both hands

[00:01:58] And got way back

[00:01:59] Took two steps

[00:02:01] And balled the jack

[00:02:02] She hollered brother

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

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

[00:02:07] Throwed up both hands

[00:02:09] And got way back

[00:02:10] Took two steps forward

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

[00:02:13] She hollered brother

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

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

[00:02:18] To stay out
