The world needs a tune that it can hum. (Hum) The world needs a guitar it can strum. (Hum)
|
The world needs a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing. Yeah, let's all sing together.
|
|
In the sweet (in the sweet) by and by (and by) we shall meet on that beautiful shore--together.
|
|
The world needs a bell that it can chime. (Hum) The world needs a drum to keep the time. (Hum)
|
The world needs a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing. Yeah, let's all sing together.
|
|
We'll (fly away) fly away, old glory, we'll (fly away) fly away (in the morning)--together.
|
|
The world needs a reason to clap its hand. (Hum) The world needs a leader for the band. (Hum)
|
The world needs a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing. Yeah, let's all sing together.

Give me that old time religion, [Repeat 2x]
|
It's good enough for me.
|
It was good for Paul and Silas, [Repeat 2x]
|
It's good enough for me. (Hum)
|
|
In the sweet (we'll fly away) (give me that old time religion) [Repeat]
|
|
Gimme that old time religion [Repeat 2x]
|
It's good enough for me.
|
It was good. (It was good.) It was good. (It was good.)
|
It was good for Paul and Silas, it's good enough for me. (Hum)
|
|
In the sweet (we'll fly away) (give me that old time religion)
|
Together (together) (together).
