I opened up the yeller pages to let my fingers take a walk

and they made it through the A's and the B's alright

but somewhere in the C's they got lost.

And they started goin' 'round in all kinds of strange directions,

in crcles, up and down and sideways.

So I took a look to see what the matter could be

and sure enough, they were hung up on the church list page.

And how could they know which way to go

when the page of guidin' light was so confusin'.

yeah, my fingers lost direction in them church denominations.

All they needed was the simple truth.

But there was Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans,

Catholics and Episcopalians.

Orthodoxoes and Assemblies, Apostolics, Missionaries,

Fudemenatalists and Nazarenes.

And all of them told my fingers

'Don't go walkin' after others.

Come foller after me'.

But all of them kept on fussin' and fightin' with one another.

Couldn't agree on much of anything.

And my fingers really wanted to get on with their walkin',

but first they had to find their way.

And they weren't about to walk less than alphebetically correct

so's not to be sent straight to 'H'.

Now there wasn't any use in goin' 'round in that confusion,

there was only one place to look.

So my fingers walked straight off of them yeller pages

and headed on to the good book.

And as they went through the Bible my fingers had revival!

They danced for joy on every page!

And now they've got the right story

and they're walkin' on to glory

on the straight and narrow way.

So take this little lesson when your fingers do the walkin'

before they try to walk across the C's.

Remember that salvation ain't in church denominations.

It's under C-H-R-I-S-T.
