It was good for our mothers,
It was good for our mothers,
And it's good enough for me!

'Tis the old time religion,
'Tis the old time religion,
And it's good enough for me!

Makes me love ev'rybody,
Makes me love ev'rybody,
And it's good enough for me! [Chorus]

It will take us all to heaven,
And it's good enough for me! [Chorus]
