The White Oak Baptizing
Out in the White Oak bottoms
on Sundays they used to have
a baptizing and there would be
all kinds of people show up
my dad had to get tuned up
now and then he would take me
with him there would be 2 lines
of sinners on most Sundays
women in one line...men in the other
the preachers would dunk those
sinning men and women under
the water and wash their sins away
from em then they'd come up
for sir screaming like wild cats
you could hear em all over
the White Oak bottoms
clear to the river
