lirik lagu rigged out - frank harte
[verse 1]
i’m a brand from the burning, a genuine saint
newly purged and set free from papistical taint
yes, i’m one of that holy and sanctified troop
whose souls have been chastened by flannel and soup
[verse 2]
i’ll tell how so blessed a change came about:
i always was lazy, a slouch and a lout;
i never was willing to delve or to dig
but i looked for support to my wife and the pig
[verse 3]
my spirit was never confused or perplexed
by talk in this world about things in the next;
but i felt i’d be certain of one life of bliss
if someone would feed me for nothing in this
[verse 4]
and so, by a ditch near my cabin i lay
with my front to the sun on a hot summer day
when the reverend oliver stiggins came by
and attracted my gaze by the white of his eye
[verse 4]
he spoke, and he said, “i perceive by your face
wretched man, that you’re much unacquainted with grace?”
“very true, sir”, said i, “sure i scarce know the taste
of the broth or the flesh of a four~footed beast.”
[verse 5]
then he bade me arise and proceed with him home
till he’d give me some proof of the errors of rome
i went, and the clinchers that oliver chose
were a full and complete suit of second~hand clothes
[verse 4]
i felt that the moment my britches went on
that half of my ancient religion was gone;
much was done by a vest b~ttoned up to the throat
but the grand hit of all was a rusty black coat
[verse 5]
the hat was convincing, as one might expect
the necktie itself had a certain effect;
then to pluck away error right out from the roots
well, he covered my croobs with a new pair of boots
[verse 6]
then he raised up his hands and his eyes, and began
to declare, through his nose, i’d “put off the old man’
and he hoped to my newly found faith i’d hold fast
which i said that i would, while his garments would last
[verse 7]
then he bade me go talk unto biddy, my wife
about ribbons and cottons and protestant life;
and to ask her, with dear mrs. stiggins’ regards
what stuff would convert her, and how many yards?
