Hello,
After the collaborative work you contribute to, I am glad to send you a possible complete version of the text of the song.

The Mississippi Sheiks
To try to save souls
But now he's preachin'
Just to buy jellyroll
Yes, he calls that religion
Well, he calls that religion
But I know he's goin' to hell when he dies
Happy as I could be
The old preacher
Was tryin' to take my wife from me
Yes, he call that religion
Well, he called that religion
I know he's goin' to hell when he dies
He was a mighty true man
He gives his commands
And he couldn't understand
Yes, he called that religion
Well, he called that religion
I know he goin' to hell when he dies
God's command
Have women fussin' 'n fightin'
All over the land
Well, he calls that religion
Well, he called that religion
But I know he's goin' to hell when he dies
Stopped goin' to church
They know that preacher
Was tryin-a do too much
Still, he called that religion
Well, he called that religion
But I know he's goin' to hell when he dies
He was a preachin' King
They caught him 'round the house
Tryin-a shake that thing
Yes, he called that religion
Well, he called that religion
But I know he goin' to hell when he dies
