I was born in a city down the river Mississippi

With Jesus by my side, I never could jive

Oh yeah, Mr. Jones

Mr. Jones, have you come back to take my bones

Mr. Jones, yeah yeah, you turned my heart to stone

I was born in a city down the river Mississippi

With Jesus by my side

But I’m a devil’s fool to try

No no no no no never going down on my knees yeah

Mr. Jones I never prayed for release

Mr. Jones, have you come back to take my bones

Mr. Jones, you turned my heart to stone

Hey Jones, you look so fine but never forget one day you’re mine

You showed me what you’re made, down in Hell you’re forever afraid

Never prayed for salvation

For one day you will rock the nation

With the devil by your side

Now you are a fool to try

No no no no no never going down on my knees yeah

Mr. Jones I never prayed for release

Mr. Jones, have you come back to take my bones

Mr. Jones, you turned my heart to stone

Mr. Jones, from my soul you made my bones

Mr. Jones, for the devil turned my heart to stone

You, you destroyed my life

You, you come in like a knife

Now, you totally lost your way

Now, I never set you free

Never prayed for salvation yeah

For one day you’ll rock the nation

Mr. Jones

Mr. Jones yeah

Mr. Jones

Yeah yeah yeah
