lyrics

Now I was the son of a preacher man
We had a little church by the river side
And up against the river rock was piled high
To keep the flood waters from comin’ in
And on those rocks we would jump and play
When church let out every Sunday
But the river snakes like to lay on them
So you had to watch out so you didn’t get bit
And on Easter Sunday it was hot inside
The old church didn’t have air conditioning
So we opened up the door to let the cool breeze in
And as Daddy gave the easter sermon
A 10-foot snake come slitherin’ in
Right down the aisle with the women and men
To be a member of the congregation
My momma jumped and my sister screamed
And Daddy said something that you wouldn’t believe
He said “That old devil snake has GOT to leave…
One way or another if you know what I mean”
But the old man, Clarence, who was 86
Picked up a raggedy broom stick and
With a gentle hand, he swept that snake outside
And none of us knew what this could have meant
What had the snake come in there for?
Was it God or the devil? Did he wanna get saved?
Or just cool his belly on the wooden floor?
Well I don’t know even to this day
But anytime I see a river snake
I think of those people down at the little church
And all the other things the river washed away
Singing Glory Glory Hallelujah
Glory Glory Hallelujah
Glory Glory Hallelujah
