I dreamt I swam in the river Jordan
To bathe in the blood of the lamb
I said, Belial, get out, let the Lord in
To the soul of this lost preacher man
I woke up in a cheap motel room
Bottle of booze in my hand
I paid the dusky young lady beside me
I was far from the promised land
[A] I [D] selected [Am] Sunday's sermon
[D]
[Am] On seven [D] deadly sins
[Am] The harlot [D] smoked [Am] her sherm
[D] Said, honey, [Am] it's time [D] for church [Am] to begin
[D] I turned the scripture [G] on [Dm] my pulpit
I [A] read aloud [D] from Mark [Am] 16
[D] I [Am] gazed down [D] at my [Am] congregation
[D] I [Am] saw the [D] tyler's daughter, Lurleen
My flock [G] looked at me [Dm] with a child's trust
[A] Little [D] Lurleen [Am] lured me into [D] lust
[Am] The holy [D] ghost, [Am] it smites [D] me
The [A] choir [D] commenced to [Am] sing
[D] I let poison [G] vipers [Dm] bite me
[A] Praise [Em] God, I did [D] not feel [C] their sting
I [Em] was filled with the word only angels [Em] have heard
[A] Speaking [D] in tongues, [G] Zabba Zabba Dom
Zizou [D] Zabrak, [E] Zachariah
Malachi [D] Zab, [G] Zab Zalabim [D] Zohoniach, Hezekiah
[Dm] I cast out seven demons from Brother Owen's pickup truck
I [Am] tell you that old Al Madaus, he was running out of luck
I [Dm] healed a mighty strange growth on Sister Esther's head
[Em] I nearly [D] raised Elvis [C] back from the dead
I [Dm] laid hands on Sister Lori, baptized the pies in the big cell
[Am] I filled Sister Sue with glory, grabbed Basil's butt by his tail
[Dm] Till that solemn Lurleen dragged me down
[Em] Down [D] the [C] nation's trail
Speaking [D] in tongues, Zabba Zabba Dom

A sinner's tale of strife
[C] I resisted her temptation
[G] An angel [Em] handed me that knife
[Am] Jesus beseeched me to skin [G] her
I hated the sin, not the [Am] sinner
When I took Lurleen [A] Tyler's life
