Mother Mary - Joshua James

I’ve walked half of this country to get to this town

To put a bill in my pocket, shake the dirt from a crown

If your worries are trouble then your trouble, it’s broke

Your bottle is empty, now there’s blood on the floor

Your bottle is empty and there’s blood on the floor

Well, the colors ain’t mixin', your tolerance has run dry

So you board up your windows to make it through the night

They might hunt you like foxes, they’ll sell you as slaves

You’ll be the one throwin' fire when they make it to the grave

You’ll be the one throwin' fire when they make it to the grave

Mother Mary called

She wants her son’s blood washed from the walls

Mother Mary called

She wants her son’s blood washed from the walls

Well, we’re havin' this baby come the first of July

My job is a joke and this bank account dry

If the Lord loves his children like your good book does teach

Well, He’d burn these here bastards, put shoes on my feet

He’d burn these here bastards and put shoes, He’d put shoes on my feet

Said she wants her son’s blood, yeah, washed from the walls
