The Preacher

Up in the north where the cold wind blows
 Over the prairie gold
 Theres a church bell screaming
 On the steeple high
 Gather ye children of men
 With one hand on the trigger, one hand on the cross
 Jesus and his family are two things he's lost
 March him to the scaffold and string him up on high
 
 The call came out from the crowd
 Theres blood in their eyes and blood in their hearts
 For, the blood turning dry on his hands
 With one hand on the trigger, one hand on the cross
 Jesus and his family are two things he's lost

 He cries Oh Lord what have you done
 You wont never see heaven or kingdom come
 He cries Oh Lord what have you done
 You wont never see heaven or kingdom come

 Listen to me my wayward flock

 He cried with a noose round his neck
 I spoke to the lord on the mountain top
 His bidding was all I could do
 I spoke to the lord on the mountain top
 His bidding was all I could do
 He cries Oh Lord your works been done
 Now show me heaven or kingdom come
 He cries Oh Lord your works been done
 Now show me heaven or kingdom come
