Fred Eaglesmith - Get On Your Knees lyrics

Brothers and sisters I've been sent to you To save your souls Jesus told me to Save your souls In his name sake With tongue of fire And a rattle snake I got a little pistol I keep it hid That snake don't listen I'll shoot him dead His name is Satan He's the devil himself I found him down In the water well You better get on your knees Better get on you knees Better get on your knees And pray I like the little chicken With the sad sad eyes They gather round Like a house on fire They're clapping and a dancing They scream and shout They run away I bring satan out I had me a woman God sent me a wife She went astray One terrible night I stayed up til dawn Praying for her soul Satan was a waiting She come through the door So me and Satan We drive these roads Washing sinners As white as snow Choirs sing And the angels chant The women scream Satan does his dance
