We now hear testimony from Brother Nicely Nicely Johnson.
Brother Nicely Nicely Johnson!
Get up, you!
Well, it happened to be kind of funny, like a dream.
That's it, a dream!
Well, tell us in your own words.
I [Dm] dreamed last night [Eb] I got on the boat to heaven,
[Dm] And by some [D] chance I had brought my dice along.
[F] And [Am]
there I [Bb] stood, [A] and I hollered, [Ab] someone save me!
[Dm] But the passengers, [A] they knew right [Cm] from [F] wrong.
[C]
[Bb] For the people said, sit down, sit down, you're rocking the boat.
People said, sit [Bbm] down, [G] sit down, you're rocking the boat.
And the devil will [Fm] drown [D]
[A] [Db] [F]
[Cm] you.
[Dm] I sailed away on [Eb] that little boat to heaven,
[Dm]
And by some chance found a bottle in my [Eb] beer.
[D] And there I [Am] stood, nicely passing out the [Ab] whiskey,
[Dm] But the passengers were [A]
bound [Eb] to [F] resist.
[C]
For [D] the people all said, beware, [C] you're rocking the boat.
People [Eb] all said, [F] beware, you're scum of the ship.
[Bb] And the devil will drag you under, by the [Fm] fence, you'll die, run, you'll get broke.
Sit down, [D] sit down, sit [C] down, sit down, you're rocking the [A] boat now.
[D]
[Eb] Passengers to heaven,
[Eb] [B]
A [Dm] great big wave came and washed me overboard.
[F]
[Am] As I [D] sank, and [Am] I hollered, [Ab] someone save [A] me!
That's the moment I woke up, [Cm] thank the Lord.
[F] [C]
And [F] I said to myself, [Bbm] sit down, [F] sit down, you're rocking the boat.
I said to [Eb] myself, sit down, [F] sit down, you're rocking the boat.
And [Bb] the devil will drag you under, with a soul so heavy you'll never float.
