Verse 1
Em
you have asked me to go talk to
What is the problem?
He said, Jerry,
F
G
you know I'm a deepwater Baptist.
Eugene has done married a young
Methodist girl
and they believe in Spranklin.
F
And it's hard for me to
G
receive her into my home.
And I've told Eugene,
I want her to be baptized proper."
I said, well, Uncle Percy,
I think you're wrong.
I love you,
but that girl's got the right to be baptized
like she wants to.
He said, Jerry, them Methodists will
do it either way.
They'll put them under
F
or they'll put the water on
G
top of the head
-headed.
G
I want her baptized proper.
She's my daughter -in -law.
I said, well,
I'll go with you to talk to Eugene.
We went over to Eugene's house
and there sat that precious
little Methodist girl
over there holding her Bible.
Scared old man verse he led better
cause she hadn't been baptized
proper according to him.
Eugene said Papa
I have talked to some folks
F
G
and I'm willing to compromise with you.
If me and that Methodist preacher
F
G
an d my wife go down to the river
and she wades out
in there knee deep.
And then he, no sir,
that won't do.
So well Papa,
what if we wade out in there?
Hip deep, that ain't no good.
F
G
Just well stayed on the bank.
Eugene said, well Papa,
what if we go out in there
up to her Adam's apple?
G
You ain't talking to me,
that's sinful.
So well Papa,
what if we let her walk out in that river
G
Am
ing sticking out of the water
G
but just the top of her head.
Will that do?"
He said, no that won't do.
New Jean said, I know it all the time
it's just that spot on the
top of your head
that counted anyhow.
