Lyrics
Saddle up the horses and wear your Sunday best
Sing your Sacred Harp, you be holier than the rest
Fill up the room with a grand and thunderous song
Let it rattle out the windows, let it spill out on the lawn
Shout, shout your praises to the man who kissed the Lord
To the back stabbing brother that betrayed all of this world
Your Judas
Oh-oh
Yea, you may walk in the valley of the dark
There's no greater evil that the darkness in your heart
Your stun guns, bloodhounds, needle and your razor wire
Your nylon shackle whipping post and your high-tech burning tire
Judas, Judas, Judas
Oh-oh
Judas, Judas
Oh-oh
Whiplash crack across the back, across the arms
Although you bound his feet, he running fast, he running hard
Through them crickets in the corn and them horses in the field
Hear the "Caw-caw" Of the crows, see the devil at the wheel y'all
Judas, Judas, Judas
Judas, Judas, Judas
Oh-oh
Go on down to Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas
Oklahoma, Texas, Kentucky, Florida
Louisiana and Tennessee
Georgia, Carolina
Carolina
There's no greater evil that the darkness in your heart
