Elder Take It All Part I (See Me Fo’ You Go) Lyrics

[Intro: Elkins-Payne Jubilee Quartette]
See your shepherd 'fore you go
'Cause your shepherd needs the dough

[Skit: George Stamper]
Now sisters and brothers, I calculate you all knows what we're 'sembled here for. 'Tain't my talk on scripture today, but it's what have you all done did. I saw a certain married sister walking down the street day behind yesterday with one of my deacons trailing close on her heels. It wasn't her cousin, brother, father, or husband. (Mm-mmm.) I'm through with that.

And there, uh, there's another brother who used to work on the longshore [?]. But now he's taking it easy, and every time I passin' his house, I smells a 'culiar odor. 'Tain't cabbage, it 'tain't stew, it smells like corn but it tain't no lozenges. I'm also through with that.

My wife has lately bought a $15 hat, a pair of brand new red shoes, and a [?], and one of them animal fur coats, and y'all knows what you give me. (Mhm.) Wait a minute, I'm just starting with that.

'Case I'll tell you the truth. I noticed all the sisters has changed their walks, and it's bringing me a thought of a Charleston when they turn the corner. May I also state that the brother that owns that 'culiar odor on his premises can call at my house [hours that I'm ?] only, or there'll be services carried on that he won't have a chance to hear. (Dah, no.) Wait a minute. And that brother was tailing the poor [?] sister can stop taking up the contributions from now.

I see that the members of my block is neglecting the old shepherd. So here is the edicting of your pastor, Elder Take-It-All: starting with Sunday 'fore last, you's gonna see me 'fore you go. Now while the choir sings song for the poor in 3/4 time, I want all of you swell-dressed sisters and you brothers to come struttin' down the aisle so the folks can see your new clothes. Don't bring me no nickles and dimes; halves, quarters, and dollars. The choir will now sing.

[Outro: Elkins-Payne Jubilee Singers & George Stamper]
[?] (Move right along, good folks. That's it brother)
See your shepherd 'fore you go (I thank you. Bring it, good brothers and sisters. That's it, sister.)
Amen (Elder Take-It-All needs your sweet help. I thank yous, I thank yous.)
Use the rear exit, good people.
