infamous branmuffin - I completely understand that "Old Time Religion" is a gospel song - I think Granny Clampett used to sing it on Beverly Hillbillies. I should have mentioned that. Something like this:
+++++++++++++
Tis the old time religion....
Tis the....old time religion....
Tis the old time religion.....
And, it's good enough for me........
Verse One:
It was good for our mothers.......
It was good for our mothers....
It was good for our mothers..........
It's good enough for me......
The Chorus:
Give me that old time religion....
Give me that....old time religion....
O give me that old time religion.....
It's good enough for me........
Verse Two:
Makes me love everybody..........
Makes me love everybody..........
Makes me love everybody..........
It's good enough for me................
Verse Three:
It will do when I am dying.......
It will do when I am dying.......
It will do when I am dying.......
It's good enough for me................
Verse Four:
It will take us all to Heaven...
It will take us all to Heaven....
It will take us all to Heaven....
It's good enough for me................
+++++++++++++
okay - what I was saying is perhaps CB is referring to a TRULY old time religion that predates Christianity - you know - very old pre-christian European pagan moon worship.
There are several lines that suggest abandoning current strict uptight Christian mores and maybe revert back to pagan days where sex might be part of a the religious celebration. One example:
Without yer new affliction
Don't need yer new restrictions
