Lyrics On Revival Day (A Rhythmic Spiritual) - Bessie Smith
Have
you
ever
seen
a
church
begin
to
rock?
Heard
a
sundown
deacon
preachin'
to
his
flock?
Have
you
ever
seen
old
Satan
on
the
run?
Then
follow
me,
see
just
how
it's
done
And
have
you
ever
heard
a
sermon
stir
your
soul?
Make
you
crave
the
River
Jordan
as
you
go?
Have
you
ever
felt
as
though
you'd
like
to
shout?
Then
come
on
and
let
them
feelin's
out,
oh
Lord!
(Mhh)
Just
hear
those
sisters
groanin'
(Mhh)
And
hear
those
brothers
moanin'
(Mhh)
Rippin'
and
antonin'
(Mhh)
On
revival
day
(Mhh)
They
talkin'
to
a
spirit
(Mhh)
Just
like
you
see
and
hear
it
(Mhh)
They're
sinful
and
they
fear
it
(Mhh)
On
revival
day
(Mhh)
When
that
congregation
starts
to
sing
(Mhh)
Nothin'
in
this
world
don't
mean
a
thing!
(Mhh)
Oh,
glory
hallelujah!
(Mhh)
Makes
you
feel
so
peculiar
(Mhh)
The
Devil
cannot
rule
ya
(Mhh)
On
revival
day!
(Glory
glory)
Hymns
are
purifyin'
(Glory
glory)
Wash
my
sins
away!
(Lawdy
lawdy)
Heal
just
like
a
lion
(Lawdy
lawdy)
It's
reborn
today!
(Mhh)
Oh,
just
tell
those
sisters
groanin'
(Mhh)
And
hear
them
brothers
moanin'
(Mhh)
Rippin'
and
anantonin'
(Mhh)
On
revival
day
(Mhh)
Oh,
they're
talkin'
to
the
spirit
(Mhh)
Just
like
you
see
and
hear
it
(Mhh)
They
sinful
and
they
fear
it
(Mhh)
On
revival
day
(Mhh)
When
that
congregation
starts
to
sing
(Mhh)
Nothin'
in
this
world
don't
mean
a
thing!
(Mhh)
Oh,
glory
hallelujah!
(Mhh)
Makes
you
feel
so
peculiar
(Mhh)
The
Devil
cannot
rule
ya
(Mhh)
On
revival
day!
