Bathsheba had a lover
She loved him eye to eye
She fed him bread and hogs head pie
And they danced on through the night
Bathsheba made a promise
Before the moon and sun
With trickled blood she praised the Lord
But the damage had been done
Bathsheba stole the answer
She took it to her heart
There’s slim and thin who don’t get in
The church is torn apart
Bathsheba had a lover
The lover slept all night
She called the Lord but he ignored
"Why does he stay so quiet?"
"Why does he stay so quiet?"
"Why does the Lord stay quiet?"
She called the Lord but he ignored
"Why does he stay so quiet?"
Bathsheba’s gone to Heaven
Or so the good book said
Bathsheba’s name is still alive
But the lover is long dead
The lover is long dead
