Goodman Rag



i went on down for a walk in the woods
and then i had to see to my dismay
i met a ripper
a mysterious ripper
something i'd have given away
i had to admit that i new it was somewhere
in the back of my twisted mind
it seems the child who sprang up before me
never gonna be his kind

hey there mr. preacher
hey there mr. smith
if you recognise my friend
you'd better get a load of this

good man
gonna give you what you need
good man
gonna play the demon seed

don't wanna stray
i never wanna leave the path
i have to stay
cause i gotta make this feeling last

the sweet continued on with a journey
and my revelations came in a tale or two
every word that my friend would say
i see them, though i saw right through
the puritans, and the purifying
raping women all through the streets
they offer bail on my friend's occasion
every other day of the week

hey there mr. preacher
hey there mr. smith
if you recognise my friend
you'd better get a load of this

good man
gonna give you what you need
good man
gonna play the demon seed

don't gonna stray
i'm never gonna leave the path
have to stay
cause i gotta make this feeling last

i do take to the bridge

put the lessons learned and soon forgotten
hardships coming to secret vales
they wanna keep me hung on the crosses
they'll have to find some bigger nails
i walk the streets like a doubting thomas
i swear at saints when they pass me by
nothing's pure when everything's tainted

where am i gonna go when i die

hey there mr. preacher
hey there mr. smith
if you recognise my friend
you'd better get a load of this

good man
gonna give you what you need
good man
gonna play the demon seed

don't wanna stray
i'm never gonna leave the path
have to stay
cause i gotta make this feeling last

yeah, i do
i surely do
