I Could've Had Religion Lyrics - The Beat Club Sessions - Rory Gallagher

I could've had religion, I could religion 

But my little girl wouldn't let me pray 

I swear to the world she drove my spirit away 

She drove my spirit away, she drove my spirit away 

I could've had religion, I could've had religion 

But my little girl wouldn''t let me pray 

I tell the truth, she drove my spirit away 

She drove my spirit away 

I could've been, I could've been a preacher, 

But I changed my mind the other nigh 

The woman I have now, she would not treat me right 

She would not treat me right 

I've been a bad man, as bad can be 

Gonna pray to the Lord above to send his blessing on me 

I want some mercy, you got set my soul free 

Set my soul free, Please.. 

I could've had, I could've had religion 

But my little girl wouldn't let me pray. 

Well, demon woman, you sent the devil my way, 

You sent the devil my way. 

Oh Lord above please send my fire, 

Send your mercy right down to me. 

That woman set the devil on me, 

She set the devil on me, 

She set the devil one me, 

She set the devil on me. 

Could've had religion
