  1. Wait…….did Buddy say that it's difficult to find a Presbyterian on his knees because he is busy dotting the "eyes" and crossing the "tees"…..that's my denomination and yeah, we love details.😂😂😂😂😂😂

  2. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

    The blues version of Caucasian Folk!

    Nothing wrong with that either.

    But this Ain't the Blues!

  3. Love this! You did Washington Phillips proud! Washington Phillips was ousted because of this song when nothing could be farther from the truth. It's all about Jesus! That's all!

  4. Well now I wanna tell you people it's a natural fact
    Every man don't understand the bible alike
    And that's all, well I tell you that's all
    But you better have Jesus
    Well, I tell you that's all
     
    Well, denominations have no right to fight
    You know they ought go on and treat each other right
    And that's all, oh I tell you that's all
    But you better have Jesus
    Well, I tell you that's all
     
    Well now it's hard to find a Presbyterian on his knees
    He's too busy dottin' i's and crossing all his t's
    And that's all, I tell you that's all
    But you better have Jesus
    Well, I tell you that's all
     
    Now the Nazarenes say drinkin' is a crime,
    But I know a Nazarene who turned water into wine
    And that's all, I tell you that's all
    But you better have Jesus
    I tell you that's all
     
    Now the Catholics say the Pope is never wrong
    But Brother Martin Luther sang a different song
    And that's all, I tell you that's all
    But you better have Jesus
    I tell you that's all
     
    Now the Frisbeeterian is walkin' round with a frown
    Cause his souls on the roof and he can't get it down
    And that's all, I tell you that's all
    But you better have Jesus
    I tell you that's all
     
    Now the Unitarian – you know he's cuttin' it close
    You could say that he believes in one God at the most
    And that's all, I tell you that's all
    But you better have Jesus
    I tell you that's all
     
    Well, you can to your college, you can go to your school
    But if you aint got Jesus, you's an educated fool
    And that's all, I tell you that's all
    But you better have Jesus
    I tell you that's all
    You know you better have Jesus
    Well, I tell you that's all

  5. A nice cover of the original by Rev. Washington Phillips (also on youtube) but it names mostly white denominations; the original called out the AME, Missionary Baptists, and Holiness denominations of the segregated South in the 1920s. Either way, "You better have Jesus, i tell you that's all."
