Stompin' At Mahogany Hall

(앨범: The Spirit Of St. Louis - 2000)

Folks are stomping at Mahogany Hall tonight
So let me tell you 'bout this house of shame
That the folks they talk and hush about
Yeah... little old hang where folks they muss all about
I'm saying it's a place of ill repute
I would just stay away, if I were you

Stay away, stay away, keep a staying away

Yeah man, if you feel that loving is what you're all about
Go find a wife that you can love, truly love
Then the lord above will bless and watch over you
Hear what I'm saying 'cause it's the truth
So don't you meddling around

Yeah yeah yeah... yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh... yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh...

When that urge to stomp, and romp in hay
Hits you like a bull in a shop with the fire and a flame and a rage
That's when the devil, he comes to play
So you be wise and don't give in to his little lies that lead to sin
To be victorious, take the glorious jump
Far away from him

I don't believe this house right here
Is a place of sin that all you folks wanna gab about
Hear the music and the love that's spurring from a joy
We feel that we don't have to hide

Now I must concur with all this sister's been saying
Because I get back so much love, more than from praying
Never been akin to confessing much
But Lord knows this house it moves and thrills me

That's right! How can you know what's missing when you've never
Known the bliss that keeps a riding deep within my soul
Yeah, those babes they move me
There's stomping and moves and turns all night
Rolling till break of dawn

Now we know the Lord above in Heaven

We don't believe all the things you say
You gotta dig it another way

Can see all through you folks better than we can
A little rhythm will rock your soul
A little loving will make you whole
But the Good Book says roll your spirit up high...
Come on and give in to what we're saying go...
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling
Going, going, going, going
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling
Going, going, going, going
HIGH...

Heed these words and just

Stop that sinning
No!
Scratch is winning
No!
Don't be playing
No!
Start your praying
No!
The Lord's waiting
No!
For you so...

When that urge to stomp, and romp in hay
Hits you like a bull in a shop with the fire and a flame and a rage
That's when the devil, he comes to play
So you be wise and don't give in to his little lies that lead to sin
To be victorious, take the glorious jump
Far away from him

Stop that stomping change your story
(Come on)
We're stomping to rhythm
(Roll on)
That's keeping us living
Don't be messing with the glory that's waiting for you
(Go on)
No evil will find us
(Roll on)
The Lord is behind us
(And on)
So roll with the music
Then...
Roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on
Old scratch will never have his way again
(Come on)
Don't bother us
(Roll on)
Let spirit just reach in
He will never bother you with all that sin...
(On and on)
Good loving will free you
(Roll on)
And lighten what you do
RIP away the chains that confine you
(Come on)
Come join in our party
There's nothing more I think we've said it
There's nothing more I think we've said it

That's the story of Mahogany Hall tonight
That's the story of Mahogany Hall tonight
