Nobody to rescue me
 Nobody would dare
 I was going down for the last time
 But by His mercy I’ve been spared
 Not by works
 But by faith in Him who called
 For so long I’ve been hindered
 For so long I’ve been stalled

 Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
 Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
 Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile

 She studied the lines on my face
 I must admit I felt a little uneasy
 When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
 Tangled up in blue

 Somebody seen him hanging around
 At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
 He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
 If he wanted to dance, he had a face like a mask

 Show me your moral virtues first
 Hear me holler hear me moan
