American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Do What de Good Book Tells You Copyright, 1884. by T. B. Harms & Co. 
Oh, do what de good book tells you, Do what it wants you to; Do as de captain bids you. Or de devil will have you shu. Little cherubim on a cloud-top, Angels in de air; Doing what de good book told 'em, Is yes what put dem dar. 
Chorus. Praise when you rise in de morning, Praise de whole day long; Pretty little birds in de tree top, Dey praise him in dar song. Den do what de captain bids you, Do what he wants you to; Do what de good book tells you, Or de devil will nab you shu. 
Elisha ascended the heavens, Mounted on wheels of fire: He didn't believe in de bad place. So he kept goin' higher and higher. Sinners don't believe in de good book, Hope 'tain't so wid you; ' Jump in de track wid de good ones, Or ole Nick will hah you shu - Chorus
