The Bonfire Carol Songtext
von The Devil's Interval

There were twelve bonfires, burning in a field
Judas, Judas
There was one for Peter, there was one for John
Every disciple he had one
Judas, Judas
There was one for James, who died by the sword
But the biggest and the best was for Our Dear Lord

Burn burn Judas, burn slow
Bright bright bright for Our Dear Lord′s sake
Burn slow for Judas
Judas was a red-headed man

There was one bonfire, standing all alone
Judas, Judas
Down by the marish, it smoked away
It smoked all night and it smoked all day
Judas, Judas
Twas a proper green pother for all to see
But the fire burns bright on Our Dear Lord's tree


Burn burn Judas, burn slow
Bright bright bright for Our Dear Lord′s sake
Burn slow for Judas
Judas was a red-headed man

There were three bonfires, burning on a hill
Judas, Judas
They burn as martyrs for a paltry plot
They burn for those that'll ne'er be forgot
Judas, Judas
They burn for treason in the king′s country
As they burn for Our Lord high on Calvary

Burn burn Judas, burn slow (burn burn burn)
Bright bright bright for Our Dear Lord′s sake
Burn slow for Judas
Judas was a red-headed man

There were twelve bonfires, burning in a field
Judas, Judas
There was one for Peter, there was one for John
Every disciple he had one
Judas, Judas
There was one for James, who died by the sword
But the biggest and the best was for Our Dear Lord
