[Chorus]
Ain't them hard trials
Great tribulations
Ain't them hard trials
I'm bound to leave this land
Ain't them hard trials
Great tribulations
Ain't them hard trials
I'm bound to leave this land

[Verse 1]
Baptist, Baptist is my name
Baptist 'til I die
I'll be baptized in the Baptist faith
And I'll stay on the Baptist side

[Chorus]
Ain't them hard trials
Great tribulations
Ain't them hard trials
I'm bound to leave this land
Ain't them hard trials
Great tribulations
Ain't them hard trials
I'm bound to leave this land
[Verse 2]
Methodist, Methodist is my name
A Methodist 'til I die
I'll be baptized in the Methodist church
And stay on the Methodist side

[Chorus]
Ain't them hard trials
Great tribulations
Ain't them hard trials
I'm bound to leave this land
Ain't them hard trials
Great tribulations
Ain't them hard trials
I'm bound to leave this land

[Verse 3]
Holy Roller, Holy Roller is my name
A Holy Roller 'til I die
I'll be baptized in the Holy Roller see
I'll stay on the Holy Roller side

[Chorus]
Ain't them hard trials
Great tribulations
Ain't them hard trials
I'm bound to leave this land
Ain't them hard trials
Great tribulations
Ain't them hard trials
I'm bound to leave this land
[Verse 4]
You can Baptist, you can Methodist
You can Holy Roll from door to door
But if you ain't got the grace of God in your heart
(Well, what then?)
Why, the devil will get you sure

[Chorus]
Ain't them hard trials
Great tribulations
Ain't them hard trials
I'm bound to leave this land
Ain't them hard trials
Great tribulations
Ain't them hard trials
I'm bound to leave this land
