Goodman Rag |
I went on down for a walk in the woods, and then I had to see to my dismay. |
I met a ripper, a mysteries ripper, something I’d have given away. |
I had to admit that I new it was somewhere, in the back of my twisted mind. |
It seems the child who sprang up before me, never gonna be his kind. |
Hey there Mr. preacher, hey there Mr. Smith, |
If you recognise my friend, you’d better get a load of this. |
Good man, gonna give you what you need. |
Good man, gonna play the demon seed. |
Don’t wanna stray, I’m never wanna leave the path. |
I have to stay, cause I gotta make this feeling last. |
The sweet continued on with a journey |
And my revelations came in a tale or two. |
Every word that my friend would say, I see them, though I saw right through. |
The Puritans, and the purifying, |
Raping women all through the streets. |
They offer bail on my friend’s occasion, every other day of the week. |
Hey there Mr. preacher, hey there Mr. Smith. |
If you recognise my friend, you’d better get a load of this. |
Good man, gonna give you what you need. |
Good man, gonna play the demon seed. |
Don’t gonna stray, I’m never gonna leave the path. |
I have to stay, cause I gotta make this feeling last. |
Oh I do, oh take to the bridge. |
Oh put the lessons learned and soon forgotten. |
Hardships coming to secret vales. |
They wanna keep me hung on the crosses |
They’ll have to find some bigger nails. |
I walk the streets like a doubting Thomas. |
I swear at saints when they pass me by. |
Nothing’s pure when everything’s tainted. |
Where am I gonna go when I die. |
Hey there Mr. preacher, hey there Mr. Smith. |
If you recognise my friend, you’d better get a load of this. |
Good man, gonna give you what you need. |
Good man, gonna play the demon seed. |
I don’t wanna stray, I’m never gonna leave the path. |
I have to stay, cause I gotta make this feeling last. |
Yeah I do, Yeah I surly do. |
