Testimony Rambler

Lyrics by Paul Walker & Cory Smith, music by CCR (Midnight Special)

Well ... you wake up Sunday morning, 

you hear the church bell ring

It’s testimony meetin’, and that's a real good thing.

But every ward has a Rambler, who takes the microphone

To talk about vacation, or his kidney stone.  [Drum riff]


Testimony Rambler, he’s got a lot to say

Testimony Rambler, he can talk all day

[Drums come in]

Testimony Rambler, he’s got the faith, no doubt

Testimony Rambler, we don’t know what he’s talking about.


Yonder comes the Rambler, once a month or more,

Got a brand new story, longer than the one before

Tells about his operation, and the rash there on his hand.

How it spread throughout his body, and swole up his lymph gland.


Testimony Rambler, he’s got a lot to say

Testimony Rambler, he can talk all day

Testimony Rambler, he’s got the faith, no doubt

Testimony Rambler, we don’t know what he’s talking about.


When you share a testimony, well, you better do right,

You better not ramble, let your faith shine bright.

Or the Bishop will tap ya, and ask you to sit down.

But don’t you worry boy, he’ll help bring you around.  


Testimony Rambler, he’s got a lot to say

Testimony Rambler, he can talk all day

Testimony Rambler, he’s got the faith, no doubt

Testimony Rambler, 

we don’t know what he’s talk-ing a-booouuut
