How I laughed like a Lord When my friend said beware Of the flush in her cheek And the flower in her hair But I'm not laughing now For my friends warned me well Though she promised me Heaven She sent me to Hell And I'm no more a sinner Than any man here I'm no less a saint Than the priest at God's ear Now I am snared They will punish me well With a ladder to Heaven And a rope down to Hell
Oh my soul Oh my soul What is it worth Oh my soul I am burn I am burn Blow,though, the wind I am burn I am gone I am gone Ne'er to return I am gone I'm no more a sinner Than any man here I'm no less a saint Than the priest at God's ear But now I am snared They will punish me well With a ladder to Heaven And a rope down to Hell Will there no mercy be for a boy led adrift By the feel of warm lips or a flash of a shift But if he who passed judgment Knows nothing but lust Then he who’d pass judgment’s No man I would trust
