The World Needs a Melody (with The Carter Family)

The world needs a tune that it can hum
 The world needs a guitar that it can strum
 The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing
 Let's all sing together
 In the sweet bye and bye
 We shall meet on that beautiful shore, mmm together
 ♪
 The world needs a bell that it can chime
 The world needs a drum to keep the time
 The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing
 Let's all sing together
 Gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside
 Together
 ♪
 The world needs a reason to clap its hands
 The world needs a leader for its band
 The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing
 Let's all sing together
 Give me that old time religion, give me that old time religion
 Together
 In the sweet (gonna lay down my burden, gimme that old time religion)
 In the sweet (gonna lay down my burden, gimme that old time religion)
 In the sweet (gonna lay down my burden, gimme that old time religion)
 In the sweet (gonna lay down my burden, gimme).
