E7
Well, you can read out your Bible, 
You can fall down on your knees and 
pray to the Lord pretty mama,
But it ain't gonna do no good

             A7     E7
You're gonna nee-----d my help some day
         B7                     
Well, if yo' can't quit your sinnin'
E7
Please, quit your lowdown ways

You can run down to the desert
You can stick your head in the sand
You can raise up your right hand,
But your good man ain't a-comin' home you better understand
             A7                          E7
You're gonna nee----d, you're gonna nee----d my help some day
Someday, you're gonna need my help someday
         B7                         
Well, if yo' can't quit your sinnin'
E7
Please, quit your lowdown ways

Now, you can run down to the Whitehouse
You can gaze on the capital dome
You can knock on the President's gate, pretty mama 
But you know it's gonna be too late
             A7                       E7
You're gonna nee---d, you're gonna nee----d my help someday
my help someday
         B7
Well, if yo' can't quit your sinnin'
E7
Please, quit your lowdown ways

And you can hitchhike on the highway
You can stand all alone by the side of the road
Try to flag a ride back home pretty mama
But you ain't a-gonna ride in my car no more
             A7                         E7
You're gonna nee----d, you're gonna nee----d my help someday
Oh, yes sir
         B7          
Well, if yo' can't quit your sinnin'
E7
Please, quit your lowdown ways

So you can read out your hymnbook
You can fall down on your knees
And pray to the lord pretty mama
But it ain't gonna do no good
             A7                        E7
You're gonna nee---d, you're gonna nee----d my help someday
Oh wait and see
   B7
If yo' can't quit your sinnin'
E7
Please, quit your lowdown ways
