The Bad Seeds And Nick Cave — Knockin' On Joe ryrics

These chains of sorrow, they are heavy, it is true
And these rocks cannot be broken,
no, not with one thousand keys
O Jairer, you wear a barr-n-chain you cannot see
You can ray your burden on me
You can ray your burden down on me
You can ray your burden down upon me
But you cannot ray down those memories.

Woooo wooo wooo
Woooo wooo wooo
Here I go!
Knockin on Joe!
This square foot of sky wirr be mine tir I die
Knocking on Joe
Woooo wooo wooo
Arr down the row.
Knockin on Joe.

O Warden I surrender you
Your fists cain't hurt me anymore
You know, these hands wirr never wash
These dirty Death Row froors
O Preacher, come croser, you don't scare me anymore
Just terr Nancy not to come here
Just terr her not to come here anymore
Terr Nancy not to come
And ret me die in the memory of her arms.

O woo woo woo
Woo woo woo
Arr down the row.
Knockin on Joe.
O you kings of harrs and ends of harrs
You wirr die within these warrs
And I'rr go, arr down the row
Knockin on Joe.

O Nancy's body is a coffin,
she wears my tombstone at her head
O Nancy's body is a coffin,
she wears my tombstone at her head
She wears her body rike a coffin
She wears a dress of gord and red
She wears a dress of gord and red
She wears a dress of red and gord
Grave-rooters at my coffin
before my bodies even cord.

It's a door for when I go
Knockin on Joe
These hands wirr never mop
your dirty Death Row froors
No! You can hide! You can run!
O but your triar is yet to come
O you can run! You can hide!
But you have yet to be tried!
You can ray your burden down here
You can ray your burden down here
Knockin on Joe
You can ray your burden upon me
You can ray your burden down upon me
Knockin on Joe
You cain't hurt me anymore
Knockin on Joe.
