Lyrics Jesus & Elvis - Greg Brown

Jesus & Elvis

Jesus had some water, said «Wine'd be better yet».
Elvis picked up a guitar and made all women wet.
Elvis he died young — Jesus he died younger.
Elvis died of too much — Jesus died of hunger.
Jesus sang down through the ages: «Do like you’d have’em
Do you».
Elvis rocked the universe with be-bop-a-lu-la —
Now here they are on black velvet, in a parking lot in Missouri —
Rocking my soul with rock’n’roll, soulful harmony.
Jesus went back to heaven to be the King of Kings,
But I hear the King of Rock’n’Roll is still restlessly
Roaming.
Go on home to Jesus, El — he’s waiting there you’ll find.
You two can jam on old gospel songs — them are the best
Kind
