Get On Your Knees Songtext
von Fred Eaglesmith

Brothers and sisters I′ve been sent to you
To save your soul, Jesus told me to
I'll save your soul in his name′s sake
With tongues of fire and a rattlesnake
I got a little pistol, I keep it hid
A snake don't listen, I'll shoot him dead
His name is Satan, he′s the devil himself
I found him down in a water well

Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees and pray

I like the little children with their sad sad eyes
They gather around like a house on fire
They′re clapping and a-dancing, they scream and shout
They run away, I bring Satan out

Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees and pray


I had me a woman, God sent me a wife
She went astray one terrible night
I stayed up 'til dawn praying for her soul
Satan was a-waiting, she come through the door

Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees and pray

So me and Satan, we drive these roads
Washing sinners as white as snow
Choirs sing and the angels chant
The women scream, Satan does his dance


Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees and pray
Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees and pray
You better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees and pray
You better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees and pray
You better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees and pray
You better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees (better get on your knees)
Better get on your knees and pray
