Jesus loves me But not my wife Not my nigger friends Or their nigger lives But jesus loves me Dat 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 Dat for sure 'Cause the bible tell 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 Dat for sure 'Cause the bible tell me so
