Testimony Rambler
Lyrics by Paul Walker & Cory Smith, music by CCR (Midnight Special)
Well ... you wake up Sunday morning,
Well ... you wake up Sunday morning,
you hear the church bell ring
you hear the church bell ring
It’s testimony meetin’, and that's a real good thing.
It’s testimony meetin’, and that's a real good thing.
But every ward has a Rambler, who takes the microphone
But every ward has a Rambler, who takes the microphone
To talk about vacation, or his kidney stone. [Drum riff]
To talk about vacation, or his kidney stone. [Drum riff]
Testimony Rambler, he’s got a lot to say
Testimony Rambler, he’s got a lot to say
Testimony Rambler, he can talk all day
Testimony Rambler, he can talk all day
[Drums come in]
[Drums come in]
Testimony Rambler, he’s got the faith, no doubt
Testimony Rambler, he’s got the faith, no doubt
Testimony Rambler, we don’t know what he’s talking about.
Testimony Rambler, we don’t know what he’s talking about.
Yonder comes the Rambler, once a month or more,
Yonder comes the Rambler, once a month or more,
Got a brand new story, longer than the one before
Got a brand new story, longer than the one before
Tells about his operation, and the rash there on his hand.
Tells about his operation, and the rash there on his hand.
How it spread throughout his body, and swole up his lymph gland.
How it spread throughout his body, and swole up his lymph gland.
Testimony Rambler, he’s got a lot to say
Testimony Rambler, he’s got a lot to say
Testimony Rambler, he can talk all day
Testimony Rambler, he can talk all day
Testimony Rambler, he’s got the faith, no doubt
Testimony Rambler, he’s got the faith, no doubt
Testimony Rambler, we don’t know what he’s talking about.
Testimony Rambler, we don’t know what he’s talking about.
When you share a testimony, well, you better do right,
When you share a testimony, well, you better do right,
You better not ramble, let your faith shine bright.
You better not ramble, let your faith shine bright.
Or the Bishop will tap ya, and ask you to sit down.
Or the Bishop will tap ya, and ask you to sit down.
But don’t you worry boy, he’ll help bring you around.
But don’t you worry boy, he’ll help bring you around.
Testimony Rambler, he’s got a lot to say
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,
Testimony Rambler,
we don’t know what he’s talk-ing a-booouuut
we don’t know what he’s talk-ing a-booouuut
