I am a poor one but a big man's girl I am a citizen in the thick of this world I have no pedigree with blood running blue But pockets full of honey and intentions true I heard something 'bout love Maybe I read it in the Bible And the things you got to do to get to Heaven Or they're gonna hold you liable My boots are dusted and I'm flat Busted but I ain't rusted, no Just looking for some water to cool me down Said the Rose of Jericho Gonna squeeze this world of all its juice Gonna take this heart and cut it loose Gonna take it down to the pearly gate And see if anyone will let me in the place I heard something 'bout love Maybe I read it in the Bible And the things you got to do to get to Heaven Or they're gonna hold you liable My boots are dusted and I'm flat Busted but I ain't rusted, no Just looking for some water to cool me down Said the Rose of Jericho
