Behind the Church

She was the most beautiful girl in town

And we practiced hard to earn her love

She took us all behind the church

And though everybody's equal under God

We were special with her

Her father was the richest man in town

And hated him as our father's hated him first

She took us all behind the church

And though everybody's equal under God

We were special with her

Her mother was a kind and gentle and lamb

Who suffered more than any mother should

Her mother was a kind and gentle and lamb

Who stomached the muck and the filth

We stuck on the family name

She was found behind the church

She was found behind the church

Her mother was a kind and gentle and lamb

Who suffered more than any mother should

Her mother was a kind and gentle and

Who's stomached the muck and the filth

We slung on the family name
