Folk Song

A found a bible on the floor at the bar
Beneath a crowded table where the pretty girls are
And they asked me if I had a name
So I woke up with hell in my head
This blue-eyed devil
She was sleeping in my bed
And then they asked me if I had a name
"Well my mama calls me Moses
I reckon you should do the same"
I saw a clergyman deny on the news
His involvement in a scandal of an altar boy's abuse
And he thinks himself a man of the cloth
I saw a sinner at the service that day
Praying to the priest to forgive the sins that he's made
And then he asked me if I care to sing
I said "Thank you for the offer
But I shouldn't sing a thing"
I saw a lover at a wedding in June
Who said it seems as though we should get married soon
And asked me if I felt the same
And then Jesus fell in love with me
In love with me again
Everybody now, Jesus fell in love with me again
