Lyrics St. Teresa [Acoustic Bonus Track] - Beth Hart

Saint Teresa, I heard you're coming to town
Your little footsteps make the sweetest sound

They come to put me down
Come to put me down, down, down

Mother, is it okay if I call you Mama?
My own walked away when I broke the law
I'm standing on the bridge feeling like falling
Would you pray for me, Mama?

Saint Teresa, have mercy on my soul
The good must die young, that's why I'm getting so old

They come to put me down
Come to put me down, down, down

Mother, is it okay if I call you Mama?
My own walked away when I broke the law
I'm standing on the bridge feeling like falling
Would you pray for me, Mama?

I was never good at confession
I'm never really that good at anything at all
They don't want me hanging around the mission
Singing Hallelujah
Singing Hallelujah

Saint Teresa, could I kiss your skin?
Come a little closer to this hell I'm living in

And when they put me down
When they put me down

Mother, is it okay if I call you Mama?
My own walked away when I broke the law
I'm standing on the bridge feeling like falling
Would you pray for me, Mama?
Would you pray for me, Mama?
Would you stay with me, Mama?

And keep singing Hallelujah
Mama
