Maggie Warwick - Something Got a Hold of Me Lyrics

At first when I heard of some people who claim
This old-time religion it's real
I said I'd go down take a look at the crowd
For just that weak-minded I feel

And something got a hold of me
Praise God
Something got a hold of me
I went there to fight but oh my that night
God surely got a hold of me

I walked in the church and sat close to the front
The preacher looked right straight at me
Said the life you've been livin' is wicked and wrong
And I felt something stir within' me

And something got a hold of me
Praise God
Something got a hold of me
I went there to fight but oh my that night
God surely got a hold of me

The preacher continued preachin' on sin
He talked like he didn't think much of me
And about right then I decided to leave
But something got a hold of me

And something got a hold of me
Praise God
Something got a hold of me
I went there to fight but oh my that night
God surely got a hold of me
I went there to fight but oh my that night
God surely got a hold of me
