|
He got the devil around his finger |
|
Jesus around his neck |
|
No one wants him in this world |
|
Nor the fucking next |
|
Don't you wanna know why? |
|
Ohhh, don't you wanna know why? |
|
He gonna leave this world by anger |
|
By gun smoke or by rope |
|
Only ever loved a woman in his life |
|
A little lady named Mrs. Anthrop |
|
Don't you wanna know why? |
|
Ohh, don't you wanna know why? |
|
'Cause Jesus in the Courtyard telling us |
|
Jesus in the Courtyard telling us |
|
Satan's in the cornfields startin' fires |
|
Jesus in the Courtyard telling us |
|
Ohhh Lord, Oh Lord |
|
He's all dressed in black as midnight |
|
A funeral's his church |
|
Your misery's his company |
|
Your sorrow is his hearse |
|
Don't you wanna know why? |
|
Uhh, don't you wanna know why? |
|
Jesus will not save him |
|
A savior will not rise |
|
Satan kissed him on his cheek |
|
Said his last goodbye |
|
Don't you wanna know why? |
|
Ohhh, don't you wanna know why? |
|
'Cause Jesus in the Courtyard telling us |
|
Jesus in the Courtyard telling us |
|
Satan's in the cornfields startin' fires |
|
Jesus in the Courtyard telling us |
|
Ohh Lord, Ohhh Lord |
