I thought I saw young Jesus christ
Underneath the greenbriar ridge
Holding hands one august night
Not far from where we lived

I pass the days along the bridge
And under lies a sea
And broken glass was on the floor
I never could believe

I looked for her jarvis town
Along the monghalee
I looked for her in williamstown
Upon the chesapeake

I thought I saw Jesus christ
A hair's breadth from a brawl
He turned his eyes away from me
And saved me from my fall

I asked this man who lived here
Many years before
Why do I feel cursed
For having any faith at all
And there I spoke to many of man
Who claimed to lye with she
He laughed into his whiskey
Then he shook his head at me

I thought I saw young Jesus christ
Underneath the greenbriar ridge
Holding hands with you one night
Not far from where we lived

I pass the days along the bridge
And under lies a sea
And broken glass was on the floor
I never could believe
