This is an old religious hymn. Word for word. I think uncle Tupelo had a musical respect for this type of song as they did for the old mining songs. But, I don't necessarily think that they agree with what this is saying. Many people have done this song over the years. In my opinion, based on other Jay Farrars lyrics, I don't think he really believes this. I think most people have done this song because the lyrics are so ridiculous. But still a great song.
