The Gourds

Lament

I could tell you that I was a christian

and I don't guess that would be a lie

I could tell you that I was church of christ

and I don't guess you could prove me wrong

so don't trouble no policeman

he's got a wife and kids of his own

and don't trouble yer neighbor

cause they just want to be left alone

I suppose if I was a demon

I might have bugs all over my legs

it might make sense for me t'tangle

with my wife for awhile

so don't trouble no policeman

he's got a wife and kids of his own

and don't trouble yer neighbor

cause they just want to be left alone

Lord ain't this nation lonely
