reverend glasseye - seven little girls lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh well the water level’s rising
underneath the crescent moon
and the little girls are strangled
the little boys have swooned
my father came up to me
all along the wounded knee
saying “boy you won’t believe it
but nothing here is free”

[verse 2]
see as goes the little saying
and he broke the mighty spoon
the son cries tears upon the leaves
under the crescent moon
and the father say “we shouldn’t”
but the son he says “we should”
cause he’s got a daughter made of stone
and a son made of wood

[chorus]
and i say oh my lord, ho ho ho
oh my lord, ho ho ho ho ho
oh my lord, ho ho ho
my lord, ho ho ho
[verse 3]
tell little jon benet
that its almost christmas day
the chimney needs a sweeping
before the deer can play
but a stranger came up to the door
alone on christmas eve
saying jony, jony, jony, jony
jony, do you love me

[verse 4]
but jony had the wildest eye
she had the wildest tongue
and spoke not only to the old
but also to the young
and its a rat upon the door step
its a breeze through the front door
and there’s blood upon the alleyway
and a body in the morgue

[chorus]
and i say oh my lord, ho ho ho
oh my lord, ho ho ho ho ho
oh my lord, ho ho ho
my lord, ho ho ho
[verse 5]
and if this story’s got a moral
well as surely it must have
the little girls don’t stand up
but stumble a direct path
and we are just the cappings
all along the devil’s tooth
aloof like cain and abel
and let down like john wilkes boothe

[chorus]
and i say oh my lord, ho ho ho
oh my lord, ho ho ho ho ho
oh my lord, ho ho ho
my lord, ho ho ho

[verse 6]
and in the middle of the spring
little girl lays down to cry
the bow lays pushed upon her hand
and no tears in her eye

[verse 7]
oh my little mountain friend
i will never see you again
it’s time to roll and i might as well
and ‘ll see you again in h+ll
[chorus]
and i say oh my lord
oh my lord
i say oh my lord
for the seven little girls
and i said oh my lord
oh my lord
oh my lord
