Jesus Loves Me - CocoRosie

Jesus loves me but not my wife

Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives

But Jesus loves me, that’s for sure

'Cause the Bible tell me so

Read your Bible good and well

Don’t forget about that apple spell

Don’t fall in the wishing well

Wishing for heaven and gettin' hell

Wash behind your ears, don’t smell

Cover them freckles

Don’t ask, don’t tell

Kiss your papa, but not too long

Hold his hand

Don’t do no wrong

Jesus loves me but not my wife

Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives

But Jesus loves me, that’s for sure

'Cause the Bible tells me so

Hush, don’t cry, dry them tears

Time’ll wash away all them years

Scar or a bruise, pick and choose

When you’re all grown up

You’ll have the blues

Life’ll give you that wedding ring

Fancy cars and diamond things

You best believe in Jesus' way

And never fall asleep forgetting to pray

Jesus loves me but not my wife

Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives

But Jesus loves me, that’s for sure

'Cause the Bible tells me so
