The World Needs a Melody

(Red Lane - Larry Henley - Johnny Slate)

George Jones & Tammy Wynette



The world needs a tune that it can hum

Hmm, mmm, 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 it can chime, chime, chime, chime, chime chime

The world needs a drum to keep the time, mmm mmm



The world needs a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing

Let's all sing together.



The world needs a reason to clap it hands.

--- Clapping ---

The world needs a leader for it's band



The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing

Let's all sing together

Give us that old time religion, give us that old time religion.

Hmm, hmm, together



In the sweet bye and bye

Give us that old time religion

In the sweet bye and bye

Give us that old time religion.



--- Clapping ---



The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing

Together, together, together...
