William's Blood lyrics

You can't save me, you can't save a wretch like me

When she was seventeen

She married a Preacher Man

And she settled down

In a little part of town

Followed him all around

Having little babies

Singing in a little Church

In a little ghost town

She's so happy

(I don't want to keep up I can't keep up)

She's so happy, keeping up

(I don't wanna keep up, keeping up with the Jones')

Finally she told me

Grandpa Dan travelled

Playing on the road

With Nat King Cole

And he womanised

Staying up all night

Cruisin'up around the town

From town to town to town

(Let me go, ah ah Hurricane)

(Just let me go, ah ah I'm going to care)

Why don't you be a Jones like your Sister and your brother Noel

When are you gonna be a Jones your just like your Dad

God bless his soul

I've got the William's blood in me

I've got the William's blood in me

I've got the William's blood in me

(I've got the Williams' blood)

I've got the William's blood in me

In me, in me, in me, running though my veins

William's blood in me

In a room full of doves

I'm waiting for the Angels

Spreading my wings

So I can fly

(Let me fly ah ah, hurricane) (Let me go, ah ah Hurricane)

Why don't you be a Jones like your Sister and your brother Noel
