Lyrics
0:00These crosses all over my body
0:10Remind me of who I used to be
0:20Give myself up to him in offering
0:30Let him make a woman out of me
0:38I'm just a child but I'm not above violence
0:48My mama raised me better than that
0:57When the preacher talks that man demands his silence
1:06Daddy said shoot first then run and don't look back
1:15So take me down to the river and bathe me clean
1:35Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
1:43All the way to the chapel let you wash all over me
2:36I've killed before and I'll kill again
2:42Take the noose off wrap it tight around my hand
2:52They say heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned
3:01And baby Hell don't scare me I've been times before
3:15So take me down to the river and bathe me clean
3:35Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
3:43All the way to the chapel let you wash all over me
4:34These crosses all over my body
4:44Remind me of who I used to be
4:54Let Christ forgive these bones I've been hiding
5:01And the bones I'm about to leave
5:10So take me down to the river and bathe me clean
5:30Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
5:44All the way to the chapel let you wash all over me
These crosses all over my body Remind me of who I used to be Give myself up to him in offering Let him make a woman out of me I'm just a child but I'm not above violence My mama raised me better than that When the preacher talks that man demands his silence Daddy said shoot first then run and don't look back So take me down to the river and bathe me clean Put me on the back of your white horse to ride All the way to the chapel let you wash all over me I've killed before and I'll kill again Take the noose off wrap it tight around my hand They say heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned And baby Hell don't scare me I've been times before So take me down to the river and bathe me clean Put me on the back of your white horse to ride All the way to the chapel let you wash all over me These crosses all over my body Remind me of who I used to be Let Christ forgive these bones I've been hiding And the bones I'm about to leave So take me down to the river and bathe me clean Put me on the back of your white horse to ride All the way to the chapel let you wash all over me
