Jezebel

Well, Jezebel
Jezebel
Jezebel
Oh, Jezebel

God's done got tired of your wicked ways
Well, the angels in the heaven done numbered your days
Of your evil deeds, God's done got tired
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
Jezebel
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
Jezebel

You got to go to judgment, stand the trial

My God's talking
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
He said He's tired
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
Of your evil ways
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial

Well, stop, great God, stop
Stand and listen, listen to the story about Jezebel
Her sins were so wicked, Jehovah got angry
Her soul went leaping and jumping into hell

Well, way back yonder in the olden days

John told Jezebel about her ways
Said her evil deeds had ruined the land
And repent, for the kingdom of God was at hand
She got mad at John 'cause he told her about the gospel
Told her servants to boil him in oil
But they tell me God looked from the windows of heaven
Spoke one word and the oil wouldn't boil
He raised His hands, creation trembled
Stamped His feet and time stood still

Raised His voice, looked down and thundered
"John, go do my will"

Jezebel
Jezebel
Jezebel
Oh, Jezebel
God's done got tired of your wicked ways
Well, the angels in the heaven done numbered your days
Of your evil deeds, God's done got tired
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial

Then they tell me John moved through the power of the gospel
Told Jezebel her time was nigh
On the book of life, her days were ended
Her time run out and she had to die
Then they tell me God walked His footsteps thundering
He moved His head, His eyes flashed fire
Clapped His hands and Death come a'jumping
Jehovah was angry, somebody had to die

Jezebel
Oh, Jezebel

Death come a'leaping at Jezebel
Then Death come knocking on Jezebel's door
And said, "Come on, woman, ain't you ready to go?
Of your evil deeds, God's done got tired
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial

You got to go to judgment, stand the trial"

Then Death come a'leaping, she jumped into hell
And great God Almighty, I heard them tell
That nine days she lay in Jerusalem streets
Her flesh was too filthy for the dogs to eat

Oh, Jezebel
Oh, Jezebel
Jezebel
Oh, Jezebel
God's done got tired of your wicked ways
Well, the angels in the heaven done numbered your days
Of your evil deeds, God's done got tired
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
You got to go to judgment, stand the trial
