Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But jesus loves me
Dat for sure
´Cause the bible tell 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 ears don´t smell
Cover them freckles don´t ask don´t tell
Kiss your papa but not too long
Hold his hand
Don´t do no wrong

Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But jesus loves me
Dat for sure
´Cause the bible tell me so

Hush don´t cry
Dry them tears
Time´ll wash away all them years
Scar 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
Dat for sure
´Cause the bible tell me so

´Cause the bible tell me so
