Lyrics

(Hooo) (Ooo hooo hmm) (Hooo hooo hooo hooo) Saddle up the horses and wear your Sunday best Sing your Sacred Harp You be holier than the rest Fill up the room with a grand and a thunderous song Let it battle out the windows Let it spill out on the lawn As you shout, shout your praises (shout, shout your praises) To the man who kissed the Lord (To the man who kissed the Lord) To the back stabbing brother (back stabbing brother) That betrayed all of this world, your Judas! (Judas!) (O ho oh oh ho oh ho!) (Uhmm) Yeah, you may walk in the valley in the dark There's no greater evil, than the darkness in your heart With your stun guns, bloodhounds (bloodhounds) Needle and your razor wire (Needle and your razor wire) Your nylon shackle whipping post And your high tech burning tire, your (your high tech burning tire, your) Judas! (Judas!) (Judas!) Judas! (Judas!) (Oh ho wo oh wo!) (Judas!) (Judas!) (Oh ho-o wo ho!) Whiplash crack across the back, across the arms Although you bound his feet He running fast, he running hard Through them crickets in the corn And them horses in the field Hear the "caw caw" of the crows ("caw caw" of the crows) See the devil at the wheel, your (See the devil at the wheel, your) Judas! (Judas!) Judas! (Judas!) (Judas!) Judas! (Judas!) (Judas!) Judas! (Judas!) (Wo ho-o-ho-o-wo-ho!) Go on down to Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas (ah ha) Oklahoma, Texas, Kentucky, Florida Louisiana and Tennessee (Louisiana and Tennessee) Georgia Carolina (Carolina) Carolina (Carolina) (Hmm hmm hmm hmm) (Hmm hmm hmm hmm) (Hmm hmm hmm hmm) (Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm) (There's no greater evil, than the darkness in your heart) (Hmm hmm hmm) (I know men)
