DEACON JONES' WIFE
(R. Sagat - J. Van Gastern)
ROCKIN' RYAN & THE REAL GONERS (GOLLY GEE GGR1024)

Well Deacon Jones wife was a faith healer
But faith won't heal her now
Her body's on fire and it ain't from no choir
Baby that's what the Lord don't allow
She was a mother and a daughter and a preachers wife
No she's staying home late to be with me tonight
Deacon Jones wife was a faith healer
But faith won't heal her now

On a Sunday mornin' baby she ain't home
She's out a just burnin' the wind
Got a V-8 Caddy and a brand new Daddy
And her hearts on fire with sin
Lay your hands on me sister, I'm a feelin' weak
Well you know you ain't prayin' in my backseat
Well Deacon Jones wife was a faith healer
But faith won't heal her now
(Go on heal her boy)

Well the Lord forgave her, what she done did
Now she's turnin' all your dampers down
When she rolls those eyes she can hypnotize
Make a dead man rise from the ground
She's got witchcraft love Baby voodoo too
The Lord got your heart but the Devil got you
Well Deacon Jones wife was a faith healer
But faith won't heal her now

Well late at night when the sun goes down
She's turnin' all your dampers down
When she rolls those eyes she can hypnotize
Make a dead man rise from the ground
Lay your hands on me sister 'cause I can't sleep
The way you love me just a knocks me off my feet
Well Deacon Jones wife was a faith healer
But faith won't heal her now
