"Mildred Bailey, Maxine Sullivan, Cleo Laine, Lee Wiley, Billie, Lena and Ella all listened to everything Ethel sang. She was the Queen and everyone knew it." AMEN! No truer words were ever spoken!

Hi.. Could someone please help me? I'm not a mothertongue and I can't find these lyrics anywhere. I've tried to "decode" what she sings, but I still got some holes in the resulting text. Good people, good people Members of the congregation Old man river's waiting for me Good people, good people Gonna and get me some salvation Gonna wash my sins away Hallelujah, hear me say (???) Ain't gonna sin no more (x2) I drink my gin, just keep me thin But ain't gonna sin no more (x3)
