Purgatory (Hallelujah Version)

[Verse 1]

Will you pray for me

When the roots of the oak and my ribcage are braidin'?

If I can think

Lord knows that I will fondly pray for you

High on the hill where the fox horns blow

And down in the grave where they lay me low

[Refrain]

Catholic girl, pray for me

You're my only hope for Heaven

[Verse 2]

When I was a boy

I'd drink and love and smoke and snort my fill

But all the while

I kept in mind the Lord's redeeming grace

High on the hill where the fox horns blow

And down in the city where the heathens go

[Refrain]

Catholic girl, pray for me

You're my only hopе for Heaven

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Do you reckon hе lets free will boys

Mope around in purgatory?

[Verse 3]

I know that Hell

Is just as real as I am surely breathin'

But I've heard tale

Of a middle ground I think will work for me

When the time has come for changin' worlds

I'll hedge my bets with a Catholic girl

[Refrain]

Catholic girl, pray for me
