Bellringer Blues

I saw my old friend Gabriel
 Down the perimeter ringing the bell
 I said hello
 Hey man is there something wrong?
 Where has everybody gone?
 I don't know
 Well I put a rag across my mouth
 And I went out
 What are you doing he said to me
 I'm looking for my company
 He said don't bother no
 Next thing you know I took a look
 Gabe was trying to sell me a book
 But i got no dough
 He said check it out it's going cheap
 Check it out it#s going cheap
 Ok I'll give it a go
 I read that book every page
 And then I put it away
 Said I don't think so
 It makes slaves of all of womenkind
 And corpses of the men
 And I just don't know
 And we care a little bit
 We get scared a little bit
 Oа those two cold dead eyes
 That stare a little a bit
 And we cry a little bit
 And we get by a little bit
 Let your tears
 All come falling down
 Put me on a big white steed!
 Ride it it up and down your street!
 Wrapped up in a crimson coat!
 Sail me in a great big boat!
 I'll sail around the waters for you
 Kill your sons and daughters for you!
 Put me on a big white horse!
 Send me down to Banbury Cross!
 It's okay Joe it's time to go!
