Satan ain't nothin but a

He's a conjur, he's a liar
Hallelujah, Lord.
Elijah rock shout shout
Elijah rock comin' up Lord
Elijah rock shout shout

If I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
If I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Elijah rock, oh Elijah rock

Comin' up Lawdy, Comin' up Lawdy

Oh oh oh Elijah, Oh oh oh oh

Oh Elijah
Elijah rock Elijah rock shout
comin' I'm comin' I'm comin' up Lord
