ried to be mild
But I spat like a woman
And I sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
Which have made me alone
Striven for peace

chorus
Well the sun rose on the courtyard
And they all did hear him say
You always was a Judas
But I got you anyway
You may have got your silver
But I swear upon my life
Your sister gave me diamonds
And I gave 'em to your wife
Oh Father,please help me
For I have done wrong
The mans too big
The mans too strong
