Lyrics

[Hook] It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me For I don't want you to grieve after me [Verse 1] Oh we are climbin' Jacob's ladder, don't grieve after me We are climbin' Jacob's ladder, don't you grieve after me We are climbin' Jacob's ladder, don't you grieve after me For I don't want you to grieve after me [Hook] It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me For I don't want you to grieve after me [Verse 2] Oh we will climb it up to heaven Don't you grieve after me We will climb it up to heaven Don't you grieve after me We will climb it up to heaven Don't you grieve after me For I don't want you to grieve after me [Refrain] Oh we are climbin' Jacob's ladder, don't you grieve after me We are climbin' Jacob's ladder, don't you grieve after me We are climbin' Jacob's ladder, don't you grieve after me For I don't want you to grieve after me [Verse 3] Oh we are going to see our mothers Don't you grieve after me Oh we are going to see our mothers Don't you grieve after me We are going to see our mothers, don't grieve after me For I don't want you to grieve after me [Hook] It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me For I don't want you to grieve after me [Verse 4] Oh there we'll sing and shout forever Don't you grieve after me There we'll sing and shout forever Don't you grieve after me There we'll sing and shout forever Don't you grieve after me For I don't want you to grieve after me [Hook] It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me It's the old time religion, don't you grieve after me For I don't want you to grieve after me
