Edited by Azizi Powell This is Part II of a three part pancocojams series on the lining out hymn/Gospel song "I Feel Good". This religious song is also known as "I Feel Good Good Good". Part II of this series showcases a sound file of "I Feel Good" and presents several text examples of lyrics for Gospel versions of that song.

Repeat Intro with all parts Because there's something 'bout the Spirit of This is from teh Acapella Company. I think they're pretty good." ** Wow! I was amazed to see all the different versions of this song. My version..... "I feel good, good, good Sometimes I'm up sometimes I'm down You can't make me doubt it ** "Went in the
valley and I didn't plan to stay Jordan river is chilly and cold If you do't believe i"ve been redeemed ** CHORUS Well I been baptised in Jesus name I've never been to heaven but I'vebeen told Well I am sometimes up I've been mocked and I've been scorned I have heard the verses sung in a variety of different orders.......so iti is really up to you which order you sing them in.......I hope that this helps....." **** "Intro: (Barry starts) Substitute phrases (for I feel good- last word repeated like good): Hey, I, I, I feel good yeah Do you feel good? Then clap your hands ** I feel good I been to the Jordan river I feel good I sat near my mother* -snip- *This is my transcription of this video. Italics means that I'm not sure about this verse. This transcription doesn't include all of the iterations of each verse and there's a least one verse I couldn't understand. Verses followed by the chorus were repeated more than once. **** Thanks for visiting pancocojams. Visitor comments are welcome. |
