Rose of Jericho

I am a poor woman but a big man's girl
I am a citizen in a fickle as a world
I have no pedigree with blood runnin' blue
But pockets full of money and intentions true

I heard something 'bout love, maybe I read it in the Bible
And the things you gotta do to get to heaven
Are they gonna hold you liable?
My boots are dusty and I'm flabustard but I ain't rusted, no
Just looking for some water to cool me down, City Rose of Jericho

Gonna squeeze this world of all its juice
Gonna take this heart and cut it loose
Gonna take it down to the pearly gate
And see if anyone will let me in the place

I heard something 'bout love, maybe I read it in the Bible
And the things you gotta do to get to heaven
Are they gonna hold you liable?
My boots are dusty and I'm flabustard but I ain't rusted, no
Just looking for some water to cool me down, City Rose of Jericho

I heard something 'bout love, maybe I read it in the Bible
'Bout the things you gotta do to get to heaven
Are they gonna hold you liable?
My boots are dusty and I'm flabustard but I ain't rusted, no
Just looking for some water to cool me down, City Rose of Jericho
