Providence (Catholic Blues) Lyrics

Sister, I sure do miss you

I just wish I hadn't kissed you

In front of the father

Who wash me in the water

I gotta get back get back to Providence

I gotta get back and repent for all my sins

"Oh won't you leave this foolishness!"

They say, "This love ain't innocent

For the good book is clear

You gotta live with the fear"

But I gotta get back get back to Providence

Oh I gotta get back and repent for all my sins

Mother Louise yelled somebody please

Call the fire department

For the flames of hell

Rose from this spell

I accidentally started

Patience is a virtue

And she lives in the next room

I sneak past her door step

This could be my last breath

But I gotta get back get back to Providence

Oh I gotta get back and repent for all my sins

Father LeBeau shouted boy you know

You're risking your own soul

Well, I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't

So I guess hit the road

And get back get back to Providence

Oh I gotta get back and repent for all my sins
