Methodist Pie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'v[G]e[G][G]
been down to [C]camp
meetin' the other afternoon
Fought to [G]get in, shout and sing
Fought to [G]tell each other
how to love one an[G]other
And to make a hallelujah ring
There's old Uncle Daniel
and Brother Ebenezer
Uncle [C]Ru fus with his lame gal
Sue Ain't [G]Polly and Melinda
and [G]old Mother Binda,
oh, you've never seen a happier crew
Well, they [C]all [G]go there
but to have a good time
and to eat that grub so sly
Have applesauce and butter
with the sugar and the gourd
and the great big Methodist pie
[C]Oh, little children,
[C]I b[G]elieve
[G]Oh, little children, I [G]be lieve
[C]Oh, little [C]children,
[G]I bel[F]ieve[G]
I was a Methodist till I died
I was a Methodist,
a Methodist in my belief
I was a mess -a [C]-disk till [G]I died
[G]When the [G]old grim [G]disk
comes a -knockin' at the door
I was a mess -a -disk till [C]I died[G]
[C]Well, [G]you ought to hear the
[C]ringin'
When they all get to singin'
That's a good old [G]by and by
See, [G]Jimmy McGee in the top of a tree
Said, how is [G]this far [G]high?
Then they [C]caught a hold of [G]hands
And to [C]march around the ring
Keep a [G]-singin' all the while
[G]You would think it was a cyclone
A -comin' through the air
you could hear them shout a half a mile
then the bells ring loud
and the great [C]big crowd
breaks [G]rank and up they fly while
I took [G]hold of the [G]sugar and the gold
and I cleaned up [G]the[G][G]
[G][G][G][C][G][C][G][F#][G][F]
[G]I was a Methodist till I died,
I was a Methodist,
a Methodist in my belief,
I was a Methodist till I die.
When the old grim dead
comes a -knockin' at the door,
I's a -mess a -dead till I die.
Oh, [C]little children, [G]I believe.
[G]Oh, little children, I believe.
Oh, little children, I believe,
I was a [G]Methodist till I died.
