I've been working hard the whole week long
I'm a gonna go to church next sunday morn
I gotta work next week well that's alright
Cause I got religion last saturday night

I ain't a-gonna where the lights are bright
Cause music and dancing that ain't right
I'm a gonna go where the folks live right
Cause I got religion last saturday night

Gonna live right tonight
Gonna do right tonight
Everything will be alright
Cause religion is my might tonight hey
Folks you better wonder what the future may bring
But just to sit and worry won't get you a thing
I may be ragged well that's alright
But I got religion last saturday night
