Lyrics Redeemed (Live) - Blue Öyster Cult

Don't you give up, my young, young friends
Here's a story I think will please
How Sir Rastus Bear
Was in fact redeemed
Redeemed from the cell
To which he'd been thrown
By men whose love was more
For the ice and cold

Goblins of surcease, villians of wise
They pranced his brain on through the long, long night
Sir Rastus Bear who'd ever believe
You'd be by a song redeemed

Upon the north forty
I'm sure it was Christmas day
How sir Rastus Bear
Taught children how to play
Games of life and love
And songs, oh, those songs
Oh, those deep, but true
Hill country songs

Goblins of surcease, villians of wise
They pranced his brain on through the long, long night
Sir Rastus Bear who'd ever believe
You'd be by a song redeemed

Redeemed good lord, from the ice and cold
Redeemed from the cell to which I've been thrown
Redeemed by virtue of a country song
And I believe, good Lord, it won't be long
It won't be long
