Something Got a Hold of Me

by Hank Williams Sr.

At first when I heard of some people who claim

That the old-time religion was real

I said I’ll go down take a look at the crowd

For just that weak minded I feel

I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door

But the Devil said don’t you go in

But I said It won’t hurt me I’ll just step inside

And set as far back as I can

But something got a hold of me Praise God

Yes something got a hold Of me

I went there to fight but I’ll tell you that night

God certainly got a hold of me

They sang like they meant it they all clapped their hands

I said it’s commotion that’s all

When they get down to pray I’ll just get up and leave

For I don’t wanna be seen here at all

But I bowed that time he got started to preach

And He looked right straight down at me

He told everybody how mean that I was

He didn’t talk like He thought much of me

I sat in my seat just thinking it over

And then they all started to pray

The fire fell from Heaven I knelt to the floor

I prayed there and God had His way

And now then I know I don’t need to doubt

For I got an experience that night

I’ll never forget it as long as I live

I found that salvation was right.
