I got down upon my knees
Yeah, I got down upon knees
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
I got down upon my knees
Yeah, I got down upon knees
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Said oh God, oh no, not me
Oh goddamn, oh God, no no no please
Oh Lord
Yeah, I'm a first class forty
First class forty
I'm a first class forty
First class forty layer man
Got a no good woman and middle class mule
on hand
I can't seem to keep a friend
I will make a family then
It's worth some time
To be
Inside the ran
I got down upon my knees
Yeah, I got down upon knees
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
I got down upon my knees
Yeah, I got down upon knees
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Said oh God, oh no, not me
Oh goddamn, oh God, no no no please
Oh Lord
Yeah, I'm a six trigger finger
Yeah, six trigger finger
Six trigger finger
Gettin' pricked by the government thorn
I do declare, the great god the black has come
Spirit and the snake have killed my young
Water in the well has been unsprung
Is it worth some time?
Is it worth some time?
Is it worth some time?
To be
To be
Inside the ran
Goddamn (about a dozen times)
