Sister Mavis

Well now, some people dig Matthew, Mark
Luke or John
The four boys could preach it, son
don't get me wrong
When I need something, make me sing and shout
I throw my hands up and drive the Devil out
Make me moan, make me cry
Stand up and testify

Send for Sister Mavis, mm hmm
Send for Sister Mavis, mm hmm
Mahalia and Rosetta
No, you won't find a better
Holy Trinity to save us
Send for Sister Mavis, mm hmm
Send for Sister Mavis, mm hmm

She gets the holy rollin
Sets your soul on fire
The saints get faint sittin up in the choir
No matter where you are she's
Gonna take you to church
Marchin on to freedom from
Another man's curse
Make me moan, make me cry
Stand up and testify

Send Sister Mavis, mm hmm
Send for Sister Mavis, mm hmm
Mahalia and Rosetta
No, you won't find a better
Holy Trinity to save us
Send for Sister Mavis, mm hmm
Send for Sister Mavis, mm hmm
