Pray for Me, Mama (I’m a Gypsy Now) Songtext
von Jason & the Scorchers

"Jesus gives to those who gives themselves"
That′s what you said, do you say that now?
'Cause in my arms you took until I bled
But still I went down every road you led
So the gun was all I had to set me free
I couldn′t fight, the devil's seed
So trigger pulled and the red lights flashed their sign
The battle was yours, the victory is mine It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
Pray for me, momma, I′m a gypsy now
So I journey back now to your lonesome grave
Searching for one thing in my soul to save
′Cause when the gun went off I closed an open door
Now it's locked and chained forevermore
