lyrics

He walked into town one day upon the road
wrapped in dust and calamity;
waved his skinny arms and babbled at heaven
said, To the church — follow me.

Well, many flocked to hear what he would say
of the night and the serpent dragon.
With popping eyes and drooping jaws,
left behind them their shovels and wagons.


The strange pastor ripped his bible out
and slammed it down to spit and shout
that God won’t show until the Devil’s out
of heart and soul and body.
He said, Brethren, I come to save ye.

O the pastor spat and yawed and moaned
till his voice it cracked and the pulpit groaned,
till the ground did shudder like a prophet stoned,
and the air did burst with sulphur and brimstone
and all the children fainted.

Deliver us from evil cried the people
What is this shadow that now grips us so?
Lo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
yeah

What’s going on? whispered bent old Moses
Why does our forefathers’ ground burp and tremble?
Why did we let this man open his mouth?
This pastor has gone and woken up the Devil.
Then the pastor he flew up from the pulpit.

Above them all the spectre wheeled and turned
all hell on his lips and God in his soul.
Screamed, Tonight you go under, tonight you burn
till the whole congregation did swoon and churn
and then paid him just to be let out the door.

Deliver us from evil cried the people
and crushed their humble knees into the floor.
When the pastor brought us God he also brought the Devil
and now our town will be quiet nevermore.
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
yeah
