I'M S-A-V-E-D
(As sung by Karl and Harty [Karl Davis and Harty Taylor].)

Some folks jump up and down all night at a D-A-N-C-E,
And Sunday go to church to show their brand new H-A-T.
Upon their faces smeared are daubs of P-A-I-N-T,
But still they've got the brass to say, "I'm S-A-V-E-D."

CHORUS: "I'm S-A-V-E-D, I am, I'm S-A-V-E-D.
I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm S-A-V-E-D.
I'm H-A-P-P-Y because I'm F-R-Double E,
I used to be B-O-U-N-D by the chains of S-I-N,
But now I have the chance to say, I"m S-A-V-E-D.

I know a man; I think his name is B-R-O-W-N.
He talks for prohibition but votes for G-I-N.
He helps to mix the poison in his neighbor's C-U-P
But still he's got the brass to say, "I'm S-A-V-E-D."

CHORUS: "I'm S-A-V-E-D, I am, I'm S-A-V-E-D.
I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm S-A-V-E-D."
I'm H-A-P-P-Y because I'm F-R-Double E,
I used to be B-O-U-N-D by the chains of S-I-N,
But now I have the chance to say, I"m S-A-V-E-D.


Some folks go to church to hear the B-I-B-L-E.
The preacher gives a sermon from the P-U-L-P-I-T.
Then they go home and play poker, and roll D-I-C-E,
But still they've got the brass to say, "I'm S-A-V-E-D

CHORUS: "I'm S-A-V-E-D, I am, I'm S-A-V-E-D.
I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm S-A-V-E-D."
I'm H-A-P-P-Y because I'm F-R-Double E,
I used to be B-O-U-N-D by the chains of S-I-N,
But now I have the chance to say, I"m S-A-V-E-D.

Yes....My momma used to sing it to me. I posted a little more about it in my post after you copied the song. I found it from a google search.

Back in the 1950's we used to listen to a radio station from Chicago with the call letters of WJJD. They played country music and had lots of ads. I remember them advertising some records and one of the songs was "Why Do You Bob Your Hair Girls?" I think the singer was String Bean. I don't know if any of you remember him or have heard of him. He used to be on the Grand Ole Opry and on Hee Haw.

I am old enough to remember String Bean...lol. There was a skinny little guy in my neighborhood and we called him String Bean. When String Bean died, I finally learned he had a "real name"...I was a very very young child when the man in our community died and I thought his name was String Bean....I know you are talking about the "real String Bean"...The real String Bean was only 58 when he passed away and I remember thinking he was probably in his 70s or 80s.

He actually played with Bill Monroe. String Bean had a tragic death.

Have always enjoyed that song.

I have got this song stuck in my head now! I have been singing that chorus over and over again and then I just remembered how I got that song stuck in my head probably until I go to bed tonight.

But, like the young folks say, "It's all good"! It's been nice being reminded of some very pleasant memories this evening.

I can't stop thinking about it either.......I will probably go to sleep thinking about it, too.

Poor caston. He was not given a fair shake on AFF and banned for no valid reason. I'd invite him back but I know a certain person wont allow it
