Scandalize My Name: Spirituals with a moral compass

Well, I met my sister the other day
Give her my right hand
And as soon as ever my back was turned,
She scandalized my name.

Well, I met my (deacon) preacher the other day
Give him my right hand.
Just as soon as ever my back was turned,
He scandalized my name.

Do you call that religion? No, no.
Do you call that religion? No, no.
Do you call that religion? No, no.
Scandalize my name.

You may talk about me just as much as you please,
You may spread my name abroad;
I’ll pray for you when I get on my knees.

You better mind how you talk,
You better mind what you talking about.
You got to give an account at the judgement,
You better mind.
