Hold My Mule - Ult Version

I just want to take time
To tell you
A story
About a man called Sean John
John joined a dead church
They didn't believe in shouting
They didn't believe in dancing and speaking in tongues
But when they opened the doors of the church
John joined that church
And when John joined that church

He came in dancing
Everybody, everybody got disturbed
Because John was dancing all around the church
The deacons ran and sat him down
He jumped back up
They tried to hold his legs
His hands were done
When they turn the hands aloose
The feet were going
It's just like fire!

It's just like fire!
Shut up in the bone
They did everything they could, to stop ol' John from shouting
And when they couldn't finally stop him
They made up in their minds
We got to go out to John's house y'all
For something is wrong with him
Doesn't he know
We don't act like that in our church
Doesn't John know

We've got dignitaries in our church
We're going
We're going
We going to John's house
Well!
When they got out there
They found this ol' 86 year old man
Him and a ol' beat up mule
Plowing
Plowing
In the field

They drove up, all of the deacons
They got out of their fine cars
They walked over to John
John looked around and said
"Whoa, mule!"
Walked over to 'em and said
Brother, I know why you've come out here
You've come out here to tell me, that I praise the Lord too much
You've come out here to tell me, that I dance too much
One of the deacons told him

If you don't stop shouting
If you don't stop dancing
We gon' put you outta our church
Somebody say, yeah
Say yeah
We are gonna entertain for it, yeah yeah
John said to them
Well, put me out!
I can't hold my peace
Did you see all of that land, you just drove up on?
He said

God gave me all that land
But you don't want me to dance in your church
Said; look at my sons and my daughters
Said; God gave me all of my children
Not one time
Have I been to the court house
Not one time
Have I been to the cemetery

But you don't want me to dance in your church?
Then he said
Look at me
I'm 86 years old
I'm still able
To walk behind that ol' mule
I'm still able
To harvest my own crop
But you don't want me to dance in your church?
Listen Brother Deacons

If I can't shout in your church
Hold my mule
I'm gon' shout right here
Say yes
Say yes
Say yes
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Hold my mule
Hold my mule
Hold my mule

That's the way I feel right now
I feel like going shouting with John
I'm know we got some dignified folk in here
But I come to tell you
I feel like praising, praising Him
Ooh I feel like praising, praising Him
Praise Him in the morning (praise Him in the morning)
Praise Him all day long (praise Him all day long)
I feel like, Lord like if I praise Him (I feel like praising, praising Him)
I'm gonna praise the Lord, while I got a chance

I'm gonna praise the Lord, while I have a chance
Praise Him in the morning (praise Him in the morning)
Praise Him all day long (praise Him all day long)
I feel, I feel like praising, praising Him (I feel like praising, praising Him)
But let me hear your motive
Well John
Just danced all over that place
Began to walk Him outside
That's kind of how I feel right know
I feel like walking Him outside

And I know somebody
That's not ashamed to walk Him outside with me, come here son
Just walk Him outside
If you don't wanna praise Him, don't hinder me
If you do not want to praise, don't hinder me
Praise Him, praise Him in the morning (praise Him in the morning)
Praise Him all day long (praise Him all day long)
I feel, I feel like praising, praising Him
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well all right, well all right

Now
I know some of you all are dignified
But you know y'all are just gonna clap your hands like I'm some mother
I feel like, I feel like, I feel like praising Him
Like praising, praising Him
I feel, I feel like praising, praising Him
Praise Him, in the morning (praise Him in the morning)
Praise Him all day long (praise Him all day long)
Ooh I feel, I feel like praising, praising Him
Wait a minute

Somebody got a chance they like to give their hearts to the Lord
Come on and praise the Lord while you have a chance
Come on and praise the Lord while you have a chance
Praise him in the morning (praise Him in the morning)
Praise him all day long (praise Him all day long)
