amazing blondel - bethel town mission lyrics

Loading...

uptown on a darkened street
on a cold bleak winter’s night
saw a face against the window
his nose was pressed up tight
the smell of soup by the fireside
made the stranger look that way
his eyes filled with expectancy
i just could hear him say

i ain’t going down to the bethel town mission
i ain’t gonna live that life anymore
i ain’t going down to the bethel town mission
i ain’t gonna live that life anymore
oh when i bid him enter
his beard all wet with snow
his face so thin with hunger
his neck all bent and low
i gave him food and drink
i asked him where he’d been
he told me of a dwellinghouse
the worst place ever seen

and i ain’t going down to the bethel town mission
i ain’t gonna live that life anymore
i ain’t going down to the bethel town mission
i ain’t gonna live that life anymore

i thought they’d give me sanctuary
a little sp+ce to hide
but now i’d rather die
go on back inside

they make you work like slaves
then thrash you with a whip
they’d gladly cut your tongue out
if you ever onward slip
you’re dying on your feet
but no one gives a d+mn
cos long as you’re still breathing
you’re still a working man
and i ain’t going down to the bethel town mission
i ain’t gonna live that life anymore
i ain’t going down to the bethel town mission
i ain’t gonna live that life anymore
