[00:00.00]Something Got a Hold of Me - The Carter Family
[00:05.43]When first I heard of the people who claim
[00:10.29]This old-time religion was real
[00:13.97]I says I'll go down take a look at the crowd
[00:17.92]It's just the weak-minded I feel
[00:21.56]But something got a hold of me
[00:24.94]Yes something got a hold of me
[00:28.91]I went there to fight but on that night
[00:32.67]There's something got a hold of me
[00:36.42]I walked right down peeped in at the door
[00:40.83]And the Devil says don't you go in
[00:44.84]I says I'll go in for that will not hurt
[00:48.62]And sit as far back as I can
[00:52.28]But something got a hold of me
[00:55.75]Yes something got a hold of me
[00:59.61]I went there to fight but on that night
[01:03.42]There's something got a hold of me
[01:07.27]About that time he got up to preach
[01:11.39]And he looked right down upon me
[01:15.52]He told everybody how mean I had been
[01:19.27]Don't think he thought much of me
[01:22.81]But something got a hold of me
[01:26.23]Yes something got a hold of me
[01:30.16]I went there to fight but on that night
[01:34.01]There's something got a hold of me
[01:37.62]They sing and shout and they all clasp their hands
[01:42.04]And they all got down on their knees
[01:46.02]When the fire fell from heaven it fell upon me
[01:49.75]And then I fell to the floor
[01:53.39]But something got a hold of me
[01:57.06]Yes something got a hold of me
[02:00.80]I went there to fight but on that night
[02:04.43]There's something got a hold of me
[02:08.16]So now I've learnt and no need to doubt
[02:12.58]That the old-time religion is real
[02:16.50]I have a spirit I'll never forget
[02:20.24]That something got a hold of me
[02:23.97]Yes something's got a hold of me
[02:27.27]Yes something's got a hold of me
[02:31.27]I have a spirit I'll never forget
[02:35.02]That something's got a hold of me
