Judas 'Scariot Blues

Jesus was a preacher he cured the sinners and the lame
Brought me around the Promised Land and he called me by my name
He said "Hey Jude, don´t you're chosen for the Judas 'Scariot Blues"

I been everywhere and i've seen him walk upon the sea
Change that water into wine but he never gave none to me
I heard it was good I could use some red with my Judas 'Scariot Blues

Chorus:
Mother Mary what's your fate?
You've been dealt a higher spade than me
Chosen for the dawn of time to hang beneath that crucifying tree

Hope is just a dream it, seems nothing changed in years
Miracles before my eyes can't see the end is near and coming soon
I'm gonna see them Pharisees with my Judas Blues

I sold off everything I had for some silver dollar bills
Serving everybody ain't no time for sitting still and feeling good
I done sold my soul for my Judas 'Scariot Blues

Chorus:
Mother Mary what's your fate?
You've been dealt a higher spade than me
Chosen for the dawn of time to hang beneath that crucifying tree

Brother bury me and wash your hands
Bone to dust beneath this Promised Land
I was Baptized as a babe to not believe
Faith's a better friend to you than me

Sometimes I think it's better that I never had been born
Take this cup and raise me up above this crown of thorns it can't be true
Oh Lord rid me of my Judas 'Scariot Blues

Chorus:
Mother Mary what's your fate?
You've been dealt a higher spade than me
Chosen for the dawn of time to hang beneath that crucifying tree

Brother bury me and wash your hands
Bone to dust beneath this Promised Land
I was Baptized as a babe to not believe
Faith's a better friend to you than me
