Good Christian Man
by Paul McDermott
I'm a patchwork quilt of a man, babe,
Seems I've got too many sides.
It's the tormented struggle of each day,
Keeping all these fears locked inside.
She offered me her hand and I took it,
Yeah, I took her sweet ladies hand.
Was it the hand of evil she was offering me,
Lord I may never understand.
I may never understand.
Did you dance with me for a joke, babe?
And did your friends all laugh and sneer?
I never seen that kind of dance before,
The way you moved filled my head with fear.
Yes, it filled my head with fear.
Now, I didn't mean to tear your dress, babe,
Or to break your fine break your fine red nails.
And your priest he will not forgive me,
So I rot in the hell of this jail.
Now I know it was Satan there dancing,
But why was it me Lord, I don't understand.
To be the weapon of such vengeance,
When I'm a humble, and good Christian man.
Well I swear she sits on my bed Lord,
Though the guard says there's nobody there.
And she's always offering her hand Lord,
But I won't take it, I'm a good Christian man.
I won't take it, I'm a good Christian man
