Verse 1
D 
I guess we've had more delight
in singing the old spirituals
and in studying the spirituals together we
have to go back to the Bible.
I often go back to the Bible.
I used to more before somebody swiped
Bm 
A 
D 
my Gideon Bible.
The one that we're most
interested in this evening
has to do with a man
I didn't care much about a
man by the name of Paul
A 
D 
who easily could have been
one of the leaders of the moral majority
if he was around today.
He was against so many things.
He and his buddy Silas
used to go into town
and have a revival meeting.
they would set sex back 10 or 12 years,
but I got a little bit fonder of Paul
A 
when I visited a town once where he
D 
spent a couple of years in jail.
Bm 
D 
They They hauled him up
before the committee
on un -Roman practices,
Bm 
D 
and right away I had a fellow
feeling for him.
It's often been said by me
A 
that if it wasn't for the honor,
G 
I'd just as soon not have
D 
been blacklisted.
Bm 
D 
But I   know how Paul felt.
And while the moral majority
seemed to remember
all the things that Paul preached against,
the people who made up the
great spirituals
G 
remember only the man who
D 
was falsely accused
A 
D 
and falsely imprisoned.
Paul and Silas bound in jail all night long.

One for to sing and the other
D 
for to pray all night long.

to pray all night long.
