Black Book
Lonesome Wyatt
It came one day in the middle of May that the priest first came to town
It came one day in the middle of May that the priest first came to town
And carrying around that black book of his
And carrying around that black book of his
At six in the morning and six at night, he preached on the street of Main, lifting psalms above his head
Lifting psalms above his head
And waving around that black book of his
And waving around that black book of his
And then one day in the middle of June, the priest has left our town
And then one day in the middle of June, the priest has left our town
Carrying with him that black book of his
Carrying with him that black book of his
