WellFrankie Lee and Judas Priest They were the best of friends. So when Frankie Lee needed money one day Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens And placed them on a footstool Just above the plotted plain Sayin "Take your pickFrankie Boy My loss will be your gain." WellFrankie Leehe sat right down And put his fingers to his chin But with the cold eyes of Judas on him His head began to spin. "Would ya please not stare at me like that" he said "It s just my foolish pride But sometimes a man must be alone And this is no place to hide." WellJudashe just winked and said "All rightI ll leave you here But you d better hurry up and choose Which of those bills you want Before they all disappear." "I m gonna start my pickin right now Just tell me where you ll be." Judas pointed down the road And said"Eternity!" "Eternity?" said Frankie Lee With a voice as cold as ice. "That s right" said Judas Priest"Eternity Though you might call it Paradise. " "I don t call it anything" Said Frankie Lee with a smile. "All right" said Judas Priest "I ll see you after a while." WellFrankie Leehe sat back down Feelin low and mean When just then a passing stranger Burst upon the scene Saying"Are you Frankie Leethe gambler Whose father is deceased? Wellif you are There s a fellow callin you down the road And they say his name is Priest." "Ohyeshe is my friend" Said Frankie Lee in fright "I do recall him very well In facthe just left my sight." "Yesthat s the one" said the stranger As quiet as a mouse "Wellmy message ishe s down the road Stranded in a house." WellFrankie Leehe panicked He dropped ev rything and ran Until he came up to the spot Where Judas Priest did stand. "What kind of house is this" he said "Where I have come to roam?" "It s not a house" said Judas Priest "It s not a house . . . it s a home." WellFrankie Leehe trembled He soon lost all control Over ev rything which he had made While the mission bells did toll. He just stood there staring At that big house as bright as any sun With four and twenty windows And a woman s face in ev ry one. Wellup the stairs ran Frankie Lee With a soulfulbounding leap Andfoaming at the mouth He began to make his midnight creep. For sixteen nights and days he raved But on the seventeenth he burst Into the arms of Judas Priest Which is where he died of thirst. No one tried to say a thing When they took him out in jest Exceptof coursethe little neighbor boy Who carried him to rest. And he just walked alongalone With his guilt so well concealed And muttered underneath his breath "Nothing is revealed." Wellthe moral of the story The moral of this song Is simply that one should never be Where one does not belong. So when you see your neighbor carryin somethin Help him with his load And don t go mistaking Paradise For that home across the road.
