The Ballad of Elijah Baptist - Aaron Watson
Composed by：Aaron Watson
Produced by：Nate Coon
He was only sixteen never knew his daddy
A good Christian boy who'd never gone astray
Hard up and desperate his family was hungry
So he robbed a corner store on Christmas Day
Elijah Baptist put down that pistol
God knows you'd never hurt anyone
If only you could hear your sweet mama crying
Oh dear Elijah what have you done?
They called him a no one a thug and a loser
But he had hopes and dreams
But those don't pay the rent
Despite his good grades he quit his schooling
But two jobs a day just don't make a dent
Elijah Baptist put down that pistol
God knows you'd never hurt anyone
If only you could hear your sweet mama crying
Oh dear Elijah what have you done?
Elijah Baptist put down that pistol
God knows you'd never hurt anyone
If only you could hear your sweet mama crying
Oh dear Elijah what have you done?
On Christmas morning
The concrete was stained red
Tears down the cheek of that police man
For fifteen dollars a young man was now dead
His little brother's toy pistol still in his hand
