(g) - (c) - (d)

(g) I wanna tell you people it’s a nat’ral fact
Ev’ry man don’t understand ’bout the life
And that’s (c) all, I tell you that’s (g) all
’cause you better have (d) jesus
I tell you that’s (g) all

Well, the denominations have the right to fight
They ought go on and treat each other right
And that’s all, I tell you that’s all
’cause you better have jesus
I tell you that’s all

It’s right to stand together, wrong to stand
apart
When none will enter heaven but the pure at
heart
And that’s all, I’ll tell you that’s all
’cause you better have jesus
I’ll tell you that’s all

Well, the primitive baptists they believe
That you can’t go to heaven ’less you wash your
feet
And that’s all, I’ll tell you that’s all
’cause you better have jesus
I tell you that’s all

Well, the african methodists, they believe the
same
’cause they know demonination ain’t a thing but a
name
And that’s all, I’ll tell you that’s all
’cause you better have jesus
I tell you that’s all

Well, people that jump from church to church
You can bet their conversion don’t amount too
much
And that’s all, I’ll tell you that’s all
’cause you better have jesus
I tell you that’s all

Well, you can to your college, you can go to your
school
But if you ain’t got jesus, you’se (you are) an
educated fool
And that’s all, I’ll tell you that’s all
’cause you better have jesus
I tell you that’s all
