As I went out one morning, to breathe the air around Tom Paine’s

I spied the fairest damsel, that ever did walk in chains

Depart from me this moment, I told her with my voice

Said she, "But I don't wish to, said I, but you have no choice

I beg you, sir, she pleaded, from the corners of her mouth

I will secretly accept you, and together we'll fly south

I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine:
Intro:C D
C
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
D
Alive as you or me,
Tearing through these quarters
In the utmost misery,
With a blanket underneath his arm
And a coat of solid gold,
Searching for the very souls
Whom already have been sold.
C
"Arise, arise," he cried so loud,
D
In a voice without restraint,
"Come out, ye gifted kings and queens
And hear my sad complaint.
No martyr is among ye now
Whom you can call your own,
So go on your way accordingly
But know you're not alone."
C
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
D
Alive with fiery breath,
And I dreamed I was amongst the ones
That put him out to death.
Oh, I awoke in anger,
So alone and terrified,
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried.

There's too much confusion

The Ballad Of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest:
Intro: A# Dm Cm A#
A# Dm
Well, Frankie Lee and Judas Priest,
Cm A#
They were the best of friends.
A# Dm
So when Frankie Lee needed money one day,
Cm A#
Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens
A# Dm
And placed them on a footstool
Cm A#
Just above the plotted plain,
A# Cm
Sayin', "Take your pick, Frankie Boy,
Dm A#
My loss will be your gain."
Intro
A# Dm
Well, Frankie Lee, he sat right down
Cm A#
And put his fingers to his chin,
A# Dm
But with the cold eyes of Judas on him,
Cm A#
His head began to spin.
A# Dm
"Could ya please not stare at me like that," he said,
Cm A#
"It's just my foolish pride,
A# Cm
For sometimes a man must be alone
Dm A#
And this is no place to hide."
Intro
A# Dm
Well Judas, he just winked and said,
Cm A#
"All right, I'll leave you here,
A# Dm
But you'd better hurry up and choose
Cm A#
Which of those bills you want,
A# Dm
Before they all disappear."
Cm A#
"I'm gonna start my pickin' right now,
Dm A#
Just tell me where you'll be."
Intro
A# Dm
Judas pointed down the road
Cm A#
And said eternity,
A# Dm
"Eternity?" said Frankie Lee,
Cm A#
With a voice as cold as ice.
A# Dm
"That's right," said Judas Priest, "Eternity,
Cm A#
Though you might call it 'Paradise.'"
Intro
A# Dm
"I don't call it anything,"
Cm A#
Said Frankie Lee with a smile.
A# Dm
"All right," said Judas Priest,
Cm A#
"I'll see you after a while."
Intro
A# Dm
Well, Frankie Lee, he sat back down,
Cm A#
Feelin' low and mean,
A# Dm
When just then a passing stranger
Cm A#
Burst upon the scene,
A# Dm
Saying, "Are you Frankie Lee, the gambler,
Cm A#
Whose father's deceased?
Well, if you are,
A# Cm
There's a fellow callin' you down the road
Dm A#
And they say his name is Priest."
Intro
A# Dm
"Oh, yes, he is my friend,"
Cm A#
Said Frankie Lee in fright,
A# Dm
"I do recall him very well,
Cm A#
In fact, he just left my sight."
A# Dm
"Yes, that's the one," said the stranger,
Cm A#
As quiet as a mouse,
A# Cm
"Well, my message is, he's down the road,
Dm A#
Stranded in a house."
Intro
A# Dm
Well, Frankie Lee, he panicked,
Cm A#
He dropped ev'rything and ran
A# Dm
Until he came unto the spot
Cm A#
Where Judas Priest did stand.
A# Dm
"What kind of house is this," he said,
Cm A#
"Where I have come to roam?"
A# Cm
"It's not a house," says Judas Priest,
Dm A#
"It's not a house, it's a home."
Intro
A# Dm
Well, Frankie Lee, he trembled,
Cm A#
He soon lost all control
A# Dm
Over everything which he had made
Cm A#
While the mission bells did toll.
A# Dm
He just stood there staring
Cm A#
At that big house as bright as any sun,
A# Cm
With four and twenty windows
Dm A#
And a woman's face in every one.
Intro
A# Dm
Well, up the stairs ran Frankie Lee
Cm A#
With a soulful, bounding leap,
A# Dm
And, foaming at the mouth,
Cm A#
He began to make his midnight creep.
A# Dm
For sixteen nights and days he raved,
Cm A#
But on the seventeenth he burst
A# Cm
Into the arms of Judas Priest,
Dm A#
Which is where he died of thirst.
Intro
A# Dm
No one tried to say a thing
Cm A#
When they carried him out in jest,
A# Dm
Except, of course, the little neighbour boy
Cm A#
Who carried him to rest.
A# Dm
And he just walked along, alone,
Cm A#
With his guilt all well concealed,
A# Cm
And muttered underneath his breath,
Dm A#
"Nothing is revealed."
Intro
A# Dm
Well, the moral of the story,
Cm A#
The moral of this song,
A# Dm
Is simply that one should never be
Cm A#
Where one does not belong.
A# Dm
So when you see your neighbour carryin' somethin',
Cm A#
Help him with his load,
A# Cm
And don't go mistaking Paradise
Dm A#
For that home across the road.
