On Revival Day - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)

Have you ever seen a church begin to rock

Heard a sundown deacon preachin' to his flock

Have you ever seen old Satan on the run

Then follow me see just how it's done and have you;

Ever heard a sermon stir your soul

Make you crave the River Jordan as you go

Have you ever felt as though you'd like to shout

Then come on and let them feelin's out oh Lord

Just hear those sisters groanin'

And hear those brothers moanin'

Rippin' and antonin'

On revival day

They talkin' to a spirit

Just like you see and hear it;

They're sinful and they fear it

On revival day

When that congregation starts to sing

Nothin' in this world don't mean a thing

Oh glory hallelujah

Makes you feel so peculiar

The Devil cannot rule ya

On revival day

Glory glory

Hymns are purifying

Glory glory

Wash my sins away

Lawdy lawdy

Heal just like a lion

Lawdy lawdy

It's reborn today

Oh just tell those sisters groaning

And hear them brothers moanin'

Rippin' and anantonin'

On revival day

Oh they're talkin' to a spirit

Just like you see and hear it;

They sinful and they fear it

On revival day

When that congregation starts to sing

Nothin' in this world don't mean a thing

Oh glory hallelujah

Makes you feel so peculiar

The Devil cannot rule ya

On revival day
