Lyrics
Jesus in the Courtyard
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
