Praise the Lord and Pass the Soup Songtext
von Johnny Cash with The Carter Family & The Oak Ridge Boys

Sister, you can bang on your tambourine
Just let my body be fed

At the end of our street
Is a mission so sweet
Where me and all of my friends
Can get a little something to eat

Though you can′t pick and choose (oh-oh-oh)
You'll sure like their stew (oh-oh-oh)
And if you don′t get fried chicken
What you get you can use

Praise the Lord and pass the soup
Praise the Lord and pass the bread
Sister, you can bang on your tambourine
Just let my body be fed

For the sake of a prayer (hallelujah)
There's a warm welcome there (hallelujah)
And if you ain't had a bath
Ain′t nobody who cares (ain′t nobody who cares)


'Cause they′ve seen it all before (oh-oh-oh)
From the bum to the whores (oh-oh-oh)
And if you shout hallelujah
They'll sometimes give you some more

Praise the Lord and pass the soup
Praise the Lord and pass the bread
Sister, you can bang on your tambourine
Just let my body be fed

And singing
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Just let my body be fed

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah (praise the Lord now, hallelujah)
Just let my body be fed

Hallelujah, hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (praise the Lord and hallelujah)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Just let my body be fed


Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Just let my body be fed

One more time
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
