Demo: Kevin Wicker Progress Nashville Studio

Sister Ethyl came home from church
Late one Sunday night
She opened the door and she could tell
Something just didn019t seem right
Her clothes were scattered everywhere
The lid was raised on her valuables
And there stood thievin019 Charlie
Stuffin019 his pockets with her jewels

Chorus:
She hollered Acts 2:38
Charlie froze up in his tracks
He raised his hands up in the air
And didn019t dare look back
She said stop right there don019t make a move
Before I get irate
All it took was a verse from the Good Book
She hollered Acts 2:38

She called downtown and told 018em
What she had went and done
The cops rolled up from every direction
Hopping out with their guns
They went inside ran down the hall
And couldn019t hide their surprise
There stood Charlie stiff as a board
Fear flashing like fire in his eyes

Chorus:
She hollered Acts 2:38
And Charlie froze up in his tracks
He raised his hands up in the air
And didn019t dare look back
She said stop right there don019t make a move
Before I get irate
All it took was a verse from the Good Book
Acts 2:38

They cuffed him up and broke out laughin
Asked him why did you get scared
All she did was quote a Bible verse
I can019t believe you got snared
A Bible verse? Charlie said in shock
Is that what sealed my fate
Cause I swore she said she had an axe
And two thirty-eights.

Chorus:
She hollered Acts 2:38
And Charlie froze up in his tracks
He raised his hands up in the air
And didn019t dare look back
She said stop right there don019t make a move
Before I get irate
All it took was a verse from the Good Book
Acts 2:38

Well Judge I019m telling you
I could have swore I heard her say
She had an axe and two thirty-eights
