I live on a street named after a saint Women in the churches wear powder and paint Where the Jews and the Catholics and Muslims all pray I can tell a Proddy from a mile away Goodbye Jimmy Reed Jimmy Reed indeed Gimme that old time religion it's just what I need For thine is the kingdom the power and the glory Go tell it on the mountain go tell the real story Tell in that straightforward Puritanical tone In the mystic hours when a person's alone Goodbye Jimmy Reed Godspeed Thump on the bible proclaim a creed You won't amount to much the people all said Cuz I didn't play guitar behind my head Never pandered never acted proud Never took off my shoes throw them in the crowds Goodbye Jimmy Reed goodbye and good night Put a jewel in your crown and I'll put out the light They threw everything at me everything in the book I had nothing to fight with but a butcher's hook They had no pity they never lent a hand I can't sing a song I don't understand Goodbye Jimmy Reed goodbye and good luck I can't play the record cuz my needle got stuck Transparent woman in a transparent dress Suits you well I must confess I break open your grapes I suck out the juice I need you like my head needs a noose Goodbye Jimmy Reed goodbye and so long I thought I could resist her but I was so wrong God be with you brother dear If you don't mind me asking what brings you here? Ah nothing much I'm just looking for the man Came to see where he's lying in this lost land Goodbye Jimmy Reed and everything within ya Can't you hear me calling from down in Virginia
