Written by Bill Monroe

Oh my brother, can't you hear me say
Oh my brother, you'd better get down on your knees and pray
Get down, get down, get down, get down
Get down on your knees and pray
Get down, get down, get down, get down
Get down on your knees and pray

Oh sister, can't you hear me say
Oh sister, you'd better get down on your knees and pray
Get down, get down, get down, get down
Get down on your knees and pray
Get down, get down, get down, get down
Get down on your knees and pray

Oh preacher, can't you hear me say
Oh preacher, you'd better get down on your knees and pray
Get down, get down, get down, get down
Get down on your knees and pray
Get down, get down, get down, get down
Get down on your knees and
Get down on your knees and
Get down on your knees and pray
Get down on your knees and pray
Get down on your knees and pray
