Loudon Wainwright III I Am the Way (New York Town) lyrics

I was standing down in Jerusalem Town one day
I was standing down in Jerusalem Town one day
I was standing down in Jerusalem Town one day
Singing... I am the way

I can walk on the water and I can raise the dead
I can walk on the water and I can raise the dead
I can walk on the water and I can raise the dead
It's easy.... I'm the way

(spoken: this song has a romantic part to it)

Don't tell nobody but I kissed Magdalene
Don't tell nobody but I kissed Magdalene
Don't tell nobody but I kissed Magdalene
Right on the mouth

I said Mary it's okay I'm the way

(spoken: this is the pitiful part)

Every son of God gets a little hard luck sometimes
Every son of God gets a little hard luck sometimes
Every son of God gets a little hard luck sometimes
Specially when he goes around saying he's the way

I am the way
I am the way
I'm the way
