Blind Willies Jezebel lyrics

Jezebel was free
She wouldn't be denied
With wolves hungry at her feet
She cursed them with her eyes
Said “If you kiss me with your teeth
You will surely die
I don't want you at my door
I give my pleasure to the Lord
I don't want you at my door
I give my pleasure to the Lord.”

Winter came and autumn died
There wasn't any rain
Men went to Jezebel
To take her for a slave
Said “If you run away
We'll chase you to the grave
Better do as you are told
Fetch us water from your well
Better do as you are told
Fetch us water from your well.”

The sun burned out the sky

Rivers ceased to flow
Jezebel would never cry
She could take it on her own
Into a bed of fire
Forced to lie alone
Said “Though you cut me with a knife
My blood will never fill your bones
Though you cut me with a knife
My blood will never save your soul.”

Jezebel was strong and brave
Painted like a queen
She threw her scorn down at the dogs
Held her head up in defeat
And from a tower sinking down
Into eternity
Said “Though my temple be destroyed
I give my pleasure to the Lord
Though my temple be destroyed
I give my pleasure to the Lord.”
