He calls that religion - Mississippi Sheiks - National ResoPhonic Triolian - Laura, Luca and Ari

Acoustic hats at work: Laura Williams ( vocals and kazoo) and Luca Menti ( harps) came some time ago to visit me and we did this little jam singing and playing on the spot this old song composed by the Chatmon brothers alias the "Mississippi Sheiks".
I play my ringing National Triolian in standard tuning, key of C, with the help of my feet stomping a footdrum board crafted here in Italy by Herrmann Guitars (http://www.weissenbornguitar.com/ ).

Have fun! :o)

HE CALLS THAT RELIGION C no capo

Well, the preacher used to preach
To try to save souls
But now he's preachin'
Just to buy jellyroll

Well, he calls that religion
Yes, he calls that religion
Well, he calls that religion
But I know he's goin' to hell when he dies

I was at a church last night
Had desire to be
That old preacher
Was tryin' to make a pass on me

and then he calls that religion
Yes, he calls that religion
Well, he calls that religion
But I know he's goin' to hell when he dies

SOLO

He will swear he's keepin'
God's command
Have women fussin' 'n fightin'
All over his land

and then he calls that religion
Yes, he calls that religion
Well, he calls that religion
I know he goin' to hell when he dies

The reason people
Stopped goin' to church
Find out the preacher
Was tryin-a steal too much

and than he calls that religion
Yes, he calls that religion
Well, he calls that religion
I know he goin' to hell when he dies

SOLO

Old Deacon Jones
He was a preachin' King
They caught him 'round the house
Tryin-a shake that thing

Oh, he called that religion
Yes, he called that religion
Well, he called that religion
But I know he's goin' to hell when he dies

Our deacons and preachers
Keep telling us how to live right
But then you catch him buying jelly almost every night

Oh, he called that religion
Yes, he called that religion
Well, he called that religion
But I know he goin' to hell when he dies
