A long time ago, they put me on a train in Selma, Alabama And I rode that train all the way to Talla...Talladega My poppa said son, you better educate your mind So he sent me away to a school for the blind. I guess there were good times and I know there were bad But I never blamed the Lord for the trouble I had Oh I just stayed on the gospel side. Stayed on the gospel side There w as a teacher there that soaked a rope in water overnight And I was bound to get a whuppin' If I did wrong or if I did right I was lost sometimes but now I'm found Amazing Grace how sweet the sound. One night on the radio I heard the Golden Gate Quartet. I started singing for the Lord, and I ain't stopped singing yet I stayed on the gospel side I stayed on the gospel side I've seen the sinners and the sanctified, but I stayed on the gospel side Well my work is done and I'm finally going home to see my Maker Nothing scares me in this world no more, not the devil or the undertaker I'll finally see my father's face, hold my mother close and feel her grace And I just stayed on the gospel side I stayed on the gospel side I've seen the sinner and the sanctified, but I stayed on the gospel side I stayed on the gospel side I've seen the sinner and the sanctified
