Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me
That's for sure
'Cause the bible tells me so

Read your bible good and well
Don't forget about that
Apple, spell don't fall in the
Wishing well wishing for
Heaven and gettin' hell
Wash behind your eras don't smell
Cover them freckles
Don't ask don't tell
Kiss your papa but not
Too long hold his hands
Don't do no wrong

Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me
That's for sure
'Cause the bible tells me so

Hush don't cry dry them tears
Time'll wash away all
Them years scare or a bruise
Pick and choose when
You're all grown up
You'll have the blues
Life'll give you that
Wedding ring fancy cars
And diamond things
You best believe in Jesus'
Way and never fall asleep
Forgetting to pray

Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me
That's for sure
'Cause the bible tells me so
