These crosses all over my body
Remind me of who I used to be
Give myself up to him in offering
Let him make a woman out of me
Im just a child but Im not above violence
My mama raised me better than that
When the preacher talks, that man demands his silence
And daddy said shoot first then run and dont look back
So take me down to the river and bathe me clean
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me
Ive killed before and Ill kill again
Take the noose off, wrap it tight around my hand
They say heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned
And baby hell dont scare me, Ive been times before
So take me down to the river and bathe me clean
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me
These crosses all over my body
Remind me of who I used to be
And Christ forgive these bones Ive been hiding
And the bones Im about to leave
And take me down to the river and bathe me clean
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me
