In the yard this morning

Lord if i was the devil
i'd put a curse on you
if i was an angel
lord i'd curse you too
i'm gonna buy a chevy
and a new black ford
i'm gonna drop an engine
on my baby's front door
i invented asia
filled the sea of japan
sold egypt to the kaiser
crowned the shah of iran
the rooster crows at midnight
wolf howls at noon
smoke rising from the mountains
earthquakes on the moon
she took a hatchet from the window
cut her long yellow hair
lord i miss my baby
she gone off somewhere
the straight man's crazy
and the drunk man's sane
dreaming in a bed of cotton
on a saigon train

you gonna reap what you sow
don't you know

All Want Jesus Name
01:53

All the sailing ships on the raging waters
They all want Jesus name
The king of Spain and all his daughters
They all want Jesus name
The Ku Klux Klan and the League of Nations
They all want Jesus name
John Wilkes Booth and all his relations
They all want Jesus name
They all want Jesus name
they all want Jesus name
give 'em Jesus name
All the daytime saints and the nighttime sinners
All want Jesus name
The dying old timers and the new beginners
They all want Jesus name
The tortured thieves and the jilted lovers
All want Jesus name
The BBC and General Motors
Oh they all want Jesus name
Preacher's in the pulpit 24 hours
Saying all want Jesus name
Said he's gonna shout it from the water tower
How they all want Jesus name
All them's suffered and been mistreated
They all want Jesus name
They don't want to die like he did
But they all want Jesus name
They all want Jesus name
they all want Jesus name
give 'em Jesus name
