You can read out your bible
You can fall down on your knees pretty mamma
And pray to the lord but it ain't gonna do you no good
Cause you gonna need
You gonna need my help someday
Well if you can't stop your sinnin' please
Quit your low down ways
Well you can run down to the white house
You can gaze at the capitol dome pretty mamma
You can pound on the president's gates
You ought to know by now it's gonna be too late
Cause you gonna need
You gonna need my help someday
Well if you can't stop your sinnin' please
Quit your low down ways
Well you can run down to the desert
Throw yourself on the burnin' sand
You can raise up your right hand pretty mamma
But you better understand you lost your one good man
Cause you gonna need
You gonna need my help someday
Yeah she will not
Well if you can't stop your sinnin' please
Quit your low down ways
You can hitch hike on the highway
You can stand all alone by the side of the road
You can try to flag a ride back home pretty mamma
But you can't ride in my car no more
You gonna need
You gonna need my help someday
Well if you can't stop your sinnin' please
Quit your low down ways
You can preach out your bible
You can fall down on your knees pretty mamma
And pray to the lord but it ain't gonna do you no good
Cause you gonna need
You gonna need my help someday
Well if you can't stop your sinnin' please
Quit your low down ways
