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