Sweet Miss Sarah Jane,
Was a poor dirt farmers daughter,
Worked in the fields til her back was sore,
For the money the cotton would bring,
She only had what the Good Lord gave her,
And she sang in church on Sunday,
The preacher said the whole congregation came
Just to hear Miss Sarah Jane sing,
In the sweet (in the sweet)
By and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore,
In the sweet (in the sweet)
By and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore,
Now a highway came right through her farm,
And she had to move to town,
She wore a flour-sack dress that her mama made,
Everybody put Sarah Jane down,
Working in the fields was all she knew,
And she couldnt pay her board,
So Sarah Jane started singing on the corner
In the Army of the Lord,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there,
Now she wears a little blue bonnet,
The prettiest thing you've ever seen,
People passing by digging deep in their pockets,
And filling up her tambourine,
Then a man said I'll make you a star,
When he heard Miss Sarah Jane sing,
She said I'm happy working for the Lord,
Fame's not everything,
Now give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
It's good enough for me,
Now give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
It's good enough for me.
