"Old Time Religion" is an old gospel song... Maybe, Captain Beefheart did choose to modify the meaning, I don't know. But those lyrics are from a traditional Christian song, not from Beefheart's imagination. Perhaps they're meant to be ironic?
I know Beefheart was listening to Steve Riechs 'Come out' when writing Trout Mask thats where he gets the 'come out to show dum' from.
