Providence (Catholic Blues)

Sister, I sure do miss you
I just wish I hadn't kissed you
In front of the father
Who wash me in the water
I gotta get back get back to Providence
I gotta get back and repent for all my sins
"Oh won't you leave this foolishness!"
They say, "This love ain't innocent.
For the good book is clear
You gotta live with the fear."
But I gotta get back get back to Providence
Oh I gotta get back and repent for all my sins
Mother Louise yelled somebody please
Call the fire department
For the flames of hell
Rose from this spell
I accidentally started
Patience is a virtue,
and she lives in the next room
I sneak past her door step
This could be my last breath
But I gotta get back get back to Providence
Oh I gotta get back and repent for all my sins
Father LeBeau shouted boy you know
You're risking your own soul
Well, I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't
So I guess hit the road…
And get back get back to Providence
Oh I gotta get back and repent for all my sins
