Mama take the pillow from under my head now, Hallelu
Said take the pillow from under my head, Hallelu
Said take the pillow from under my head
Jesus is gonna make up my dying bed
Then you'll need that true religion, Hallelu

Doctor doctor, lookin sad, Hallelu
Well doctor doctor, lookin sad, Hallelu
I said doctor doctor, lookin sad
Strangest case I ever had
Then you'll need that true religion, Hallelu

Crossin Jordan I need not fear, Hallelu
I said crossin Jordan I need not fear, Hallelu
Well crossin Jordan I need not fear
'Cause Jesus gonna be the engineer
Then you'll need that true religion, Hallelu

Now mama take the pillow from under my head, Hallelu
Said take the pillow from under my head, Hallelu
Well take the pillow from under my head
Jesus is gonna make up my dying bed
Then you'll need that true religion, Hallelu
