The Tea Party - Goodman Rag lyrics

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 knew it was somewhere In the back of my twisted mind It seems the child who sprang up before me Never going to be his kind Hey, there, Mister Preacher Hey, there, Mister Smith If you recognise my friend You'd better get a load of this Goodman, I'm going to give you what you need Goodman, I'm going to plant the demon seed Don't want to stray I'm never want to leave the path I have to stay 'Cause I've got to 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 On every other day of the week Hey, there, Mister Preacher Hey, there, Mister Smith If you recognise my friend You'd better get a load of this Goodman, I'm going to give you what you need Goodman, I'm going to plant the demon seed Don't want to stray I never want to leave the path I have to stay 'Cause I've got to make this feeling last Oh, I do Oh, take it to the bridge Oh, but the lesson's learned and soon forgotten Hardships coming to secret vales They want to 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 pa** me by Nothing's pure when everything's tainted Where am I going to go when I die? Hey, there, Mister Preacher Hey, there, Mister Smith If you recognise my friend You'd better get a load of this Goodman, I'm going to give you what you need Goodman, I'm going to plant the demon seed I don't want to stray And I never want to leave the path I have to stay 'Cause I've got to make this feeling last I do, I surely do
