Jesus loves me but not my wife
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that´s for sure
´Cause the Bible tell me so

Read your Bible good and well
Don´t forget about that apple spell
Don´t fall in the wishing well
Wishing for heaven and gettin´ hell
Wash behind your ears, don´t smell
Cover them freckles
Don´t ask, don´t tell

Kiss your papa, but not too long
Hold his hand
Don´t do no wrong

Jesus loves me but not my wife
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that´s for sure
´Cause the Bible tells me so

Hush, don´t cry, dry them tears
Time´ll wash away all them years
Scar or a bruise, pick and choose
When you´re all grown up
You´ll have the blues
Life´ll give you that wedding ring
Fancy cars and diamond things
You best believe in Jesus´ way
And never fall asleep forgetting to pray

Jesus loves me but not my wife
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that´s for sure
´Cause the Bible tells me so
