My Daddy was a sinner, but my  Mother was a saintly person  But I ruined my life by drinking,  bad wives, taking pills and cursing  Rock and roll you crucified me,  left me all alone  I never should have turned my back  on the old folks back at home  Give me that Church of the Holy  Spook, Church of the Holy Spook,  Church of the Holy Spook it's good  enough for me  I was good for my dear old Daddy  and my dear old Mammy too,  Give me that Church of the Holy  Spook, I don't need nothing new  I believe in the Church of the Holy Spook, I  believe that he's in me  The Tao is like a river, so float along with me  When the sacred blood of the Holy Ghost is  boiling in my veins  I think of Jesus on the cross and I  scream out for his pain
