Lyrics

He was a yellow-headed preacher, couldn't read but he could pray
Walked up that dusty road into our small town one dark day
He walked into the whorehouse, called those girls to pray
Said, leave your sin and evil ways, or there'll be hell to pay
Only one would heed the call, only one was saved
She was the sweetheart of an outlaw, known as Black-Eyed James
Jeremiah, Jeremiah, hang your head way down low, way down low
Jeremiah, oh Jeremiah, your chariot's coming, coming slow
Next time her lover called around, his voice went unheard
She closed the door, locked the room, read the holy word
He fell into an evil rage, busted down the door
He shot that poor girl through the head as she was praying on the floor
Jeremiah heard the shot ring out, heard her final scream
He was the only man standing there at that murder scene
Jeremiah, Jeremiah, hang your head way down low, way down low
Jeremiah, oh Jeremiah, your chariot's coming, coming slow
Before a host of silent witnesses, the court cast its decree
Jeremiah was to hang for that dark and dirty deed
The heavens are wide open and the final call is called
That chariot's awaiting by the hanging wall
Jeremiah, oh Jeremiah, hang your head way down low, way down low
Jeremiah, oh Jeremiah, your chariot's coming, coming slow
Your chariot's coming, coming slow
