Verse 2
Well the preacher ducked him under that clear cool water� then he did it again�
Eddie came up yellin��  "Lord in Heaven�  Hallelujah�  I'm a brand new man�"
Well the water got to bubblin'�  the sky got to rumblin'� 
                                                and the thunder backed up the choir�
The fish started jumpin'� it was like they were swimmin'�   in a lake of fire�
  Then Eddie's mamma stepped out of the crowd�  and started yellin' out loud�
