|
There were tambourines and moans and wails |
|
Wrappin' the snakes on the healing trail |
|
But a child passed, it was the devil and the snake |
|
And the devil prevailed |
|
Big deep trouble for a young child gone |
|
Maybe the book and the verse was all wrong |
|
Keep your eyes closed, your lips sealed tight, |
|
Keep your mind right |
|
Whoa no, whoa no |
|
Good Lord lift this heavy load |
|
Maybe I'm going down a wrong road, |
|
Well oh no, no, no |
|
Hallelujah and praise the man |
|
Upstairs with the long hand |
|
Wrap the snake and the angels sing |
|
Take your ride with the preacher in the ring |
|
Lawmen went to the house on the hill |
|
Found the wife and the wind so still |
|
A woman and a rope and a kicked-over chair and a beam too high |
|
Thrown out of town got to find a new site |
|
Someone said it's like the Israelites |
|
They say the persecuted ones gonna find the light |
|
Whoa no, so long |
|
Copperheads and sacred songs |
|
The book of Mark |
| [1] |
|
|
well it couldn't be wrong |
|
Well, oh no, no, no |
|
Hallelujah and praise the man |
|
Upstairs with the long hand |
|
Wrap the snake and watch 'em all sting |
|
As they go ten rounds with the preacher in the ring |
|
Say they're lockin' 'em up, |
|
They've got 'em on the run |
|
Might as well sue all the doctors when they don't get it done |
|
Not everything everybody does, |
|
Works all the time, son |
|
Whoa no, whoa no |
|
Say you got the answers well how do you know? |
|
It works for me that's all I know |
|
Well, oh no, no, no |
|
Hallelujah and praise the man |
|
Upstairs with the long hand |
|
Wrap the snake and watch 'em all sting |
|
As they go ten rounds with the preacher in the ring |
|
Wrap the snake and the angels sing |
|
Take your ride with the preacher in the ring |
