Sister Mavis

[Verse 1]
Well now, some people dig Matthew, Mark, Luke or John
The four boys could preach it, son, don't get me wrong
When I need something, make me sing and shout
I throw my hands up and drive the Devil out
Make me moan, make me cry
Stand up and testify

[Chorus]
Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm
Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm
Mahalia and Rosetta
No, you won't find a better Holy Trinity to save us
Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm
Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

[Verse 2]
She gets the holy rollin', sets your soul on fire
The saints get faint sittin' up in the choir
No matter where you are she's gonna take you to church
Marchin' on to freedom from another man's curse
Make me moan, make me cry
Stand up and testify

[Chorus]
Send Sister Mavis, mm-hmm
Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm
Mahalia and Rosetta
No, you won't find a better Holy Trinity to save us
Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm
Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm

[Chorus]
Hey, send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm
Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm
Mahalia and Rosetta
You won't find a better Holy Trinity to save us
Send Sister Mavis, mm-hmm
Send for Sister Mavis, mm-hmm
Send Sister Mavis, mm-hmm
Come on and send Sister Mavis

[Outro]
Yeah-yeah, hallelujah, hallelujah
That woman gonna sock it to ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah
That girl, she gonna sock it to ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, she gonna sock it to ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, she gonna sock it to ya
