Saw kingdoms crushed and crumbled

Saw the earth from the rim of a ship

Heard the whistle of the damnation train

But I didn't see her coming



Baby clear sky light

That lyin' goat borrowed my heart

and now it's broke

With big guns booming like thunder

I should have struck him cemetery dead



41 dollars and 63 cents won't buy my way out of this mess

41 dollars and 63 cents won't get me a dress to compete with her best

God made woman when he took out a bone

Gave it to adam so he wasn't alone

Fell at his feet - a heap on the floor

Now he aint coming back no more



I saw him on the lake at Galilee

The ship was gliding away from me

Sails unfurled in the evening breeze

The white caps marbleized into peaks

The wind is a woman and the water is too

The moon he holds the reins of the tides

With big guns booming like thunder

I should have struck him cemetery dead
