Patty Griffin - Holy Water lyrics

rate me

Well someone missed that little spider

spider upon my shoulder

Devil smiled from way down there

in his blackened hold yeah

Well the priest recited holy words

and wiped my forehead clean

all around the world that day

they heard the babies scream

whoa let it out baby

Those ruffles round my ankles

and those ribbons in my hair

well they could not hide that little spider

lurking way down there

Yeah so when I asked my mama

what those little feelings mean

she said go and find your rosary

and count your blessings

Whoa mama birds do it bees do it dogs do it mama

mama I got some holy water

I'm a gonna pour it all over me

Gimme some of that holy water

Come and pour it all over me

I been eating contradictions

just like they was little snacks and

getting all that fiction confused with all those facts

Yeah but I can't live that way no more I had to admit default

Mama said she told me so (?) but I still love her so

Oh Mama admit it you did it

You (?) now mama

Mama I got some holy water

I'm a gonna pour it all over me

Gimme some of that holy water

Come and pour it all over me

I don't know but I'll certainly find out

Admit it you did it

You sanctify sanctify

I got some holy water

I'm a gonna pour it all over me

Gimme some of that holy water

Come and pour it all over me

I don't know but I'll certainly find out yeah
