Seamus Kennedy - Methodist Pie lyrics

Artist: Seamus Kennedy

album: Tricky Tongue Twisters


I went down to camp meetin' just the other afternoon
For to hear 'em all preach and sing
Tellin' each other how they love one another
And to make the hallelujahs ring.
There was old Uncle Dan'l and Brother Ebenezer,
Uncle Rufus and the singin' gal Sue
Aunt Polly, Aunt Melinda and old Brother Bender
Well, you never saw a happier crew.
Oh, little children, I believe
Oh, little children, I believe
Oh, little children, I believe
I'm a Methodist until I die.
I'm a Methodist, a Methodist and it is my belief
I'm a Methodist until I die.
When old grim Death comes a-knockin' at my door
I'm a Methodist until I die.
They all went there for to have a good time,
And to eat the grub so sly
Applesauce-butter, and sugar in the gourd
And a great big Methodist pie.
You ought to hear the ringin' when they all got to singin'
That good old Bye and Bye
Brother Jimmy Magee in the top of a tree
Sayin' "Lordy, I'm a-getting' high!"
Oh, little children, I believe
Oh, little children, I believe
Oh, little children, I believe
I'm a Methodist until I die.
I'm a Methodist, a Methodist and it is my belief
I'm a Methodist until I die.
When old grim Death comes a-knockin' at my door
I'm a Methodist until I die.
They all held hands and marched around the ring
Kept a-singin' all the while
You'd have thought it was a cyclone a-comin' through the air
You could hear them shout half a mile.
Then the bell rings loud and the great big crowd
Breaks ranks and up they fly
While I took ahold of the sugar in the gourd
And cleaned up the Methodist pie.
Oh, little children, I believe
Oh, little children, I believe
Oh, little children, I believe
I'm a Methodist until I die.
I'm a Methodist, a Methodist and it is my belief
I'm a Methodist until I die.
When old grim Death comes a-knockin' at my door
I'm a Methodist until I die.
I'm a Methodist, a Methodist it is my belief
I'm a Methodist until I die.
When old grim Death comes a-knockin' at my door
I'm a Methodist until I die.
