There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beaneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
The simple white coffin was carried by three of Mary's cousins
And three of her young friends (The dying thief)
Several more friends volunteered to serve as pall-bearers (Rejoiced to see)
But they were deemed too small to shoulder the burden (That fountain in his day)
Recent heavy rains made the North Georgia red-clay soil glow (And there may I)
As Mary Phagan, just two months shy of fourteen (Though vile as he)
Was laid to her final rest (Wash all my sins away)
God forgive me what I think
God forgive me what I wish, right now
Well, you must have known Mary pretty well
Yes, sir, I did
Then this must be a mighty hard day for you
Did ya' ever hear her laugh?
When she laughed, you swore you'd never cry again
Did ya' ever see her smile?
Her smile was like a glass of lemonade
And she said funny things
And she wore pretty dresses
And she liked to see the pictures at the VFW hall
And she loved to ride in swings
And she liked cotton candy
But I think she liked the pictures best of all
No, it don't make sense, to me
That she won't be around
No, it don't make sense, to me
To put her in the cold and lonely ground
And no, it don't make sense
The way the world can let you fall
I swear, it don't make sense to me, at all
Dear dying lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
She had two crooked teeth
She had cuts on her finger
She worked next to me last summer
Once a week, we used to play
And she knew how to read
She would smile at the foreman
And I can't believe they took my friend away
No, it don't make sense, to me
That she will not be there
(When she laughed you swore you'd never cry again)
No, it don't make sense, to me
She loved when I tied ribbons in her hair
And no, it don't make sense
The way the sun can still burn down
No, it don't make sense to me
God forgive me what I think
(Tell me son, you got any idea who it was?)
God forgive me what I wish, right now
I don't know the coward's name
I don't know the bastard's face
But I swear right now to God
He ain't ever gonna get away
With what he done to Mary!
Let him quiver in his boots
Let him run until he bleeds
I won't rest until I know
He's burning in the raging fires of hell forever more!
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins (God forgive me what I think)
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains (God forgive me what I wish, right now!)
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beaneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
The simple white coffin was carried by three of Mary's cousins
And three of her young friends (The dying thief)
Several more friends volunteered to serve as pall-bearers (Rejoiced to see)

Drawn from Emmanuel's veins (God forgive me what I think)
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains (God forgive me what I wish, right now!)
