Behind the Church

She was the most beautiful girl in town
And we practiced hard to earn her love
She took us all behind the church
And though everybody’s equal under God
We were special with her
Her father was the richest man in town
And hated him as our father’s hated him first
She took us all behind the church
And though everybody’s equal under God
We were special with her
Her mother was a kind and gentle and lamb
Who suffered more than any mother should
Her mother was a kind and gentle and lamb
Who stomached the muck and the filth
We stuck on the family name
She was found behind the church
She was found behind the church
Her mother was a kind and gentle and lamb
Who suffered more than any mother should
Her mother was a kind and gentle and
Who’s stomached the muck and the filth
We slung on the family name
