Jesus Loves Me Songtext

von CocoRosie

Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me
That's for sure
'cause the Bible tells me so
Read your Bible good and well
Don't forget about that apple spell
Don't fall in the wishing well
Wishing for heaven and gettin' hell
Wash behind your ears, don't smell
Cover them freckles, don't ask, don't tell
Kiss your papa but not too long
Hold his hands
Don't do no wrong
Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me
That's for sure
'cause the Bible tells me so
Hush, don't cry
Dry them tears
Time'll wash away all them years
Scare or a bruise
Pick and choose
When you'll grow up
You'll have the blues
Life'll give you that wedding ring
Fancy cars and diamond things
You best believe in Jesus' way
And never fall asleep forgetting to pray
Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me
That's for sure
'cause the Bible tells me so
