Hold My Head

Welcome, all you people, let me tell you this story
About how this man came, saying he’d give us glory
He came right here and he offered a proposition
But all we had to give was all our children
Gather up your children
Gather your belongings
Gather up your women like the singer in the song sings
Load your guns with bullets
Powder up your rifles
Then pray the Lord to save your soul
Like in the Holy Bible
Dear God, and Mary, and Jesus set me free
How’d the Devil make a sinner outta me?
Dear God, let Moses part the Red, Red Sea
Holy water, set my people free
Well mister, even though you’ve got us bent over in an awkward position
I’m not quite sure my people like your proposition
So we’re just gonna bed down right here and pray for shelter
'Cause, mister, you’ll just bring my people helter skelter
Gather up your children
Gather your belongings
Gather up your women like the singer in the song sings
Load your guns with bullets
Powder up your rifles
Then pray the Lord to save your soul
Like in the Holy Bible
Dear God, and Mary, and Jesus set me free
How’d the Devil make a sinner outta me?
Dear God, let Moses part the Red, Red Sea
Holy water, set my people free
Hold my head
