Lyrics
She burnt her bed, she burnt her bible
Burnt down the house when the tears went tidal
I swear its the gospel truth
Proclaimed herself a child of the Delta
Steel guitar was her only shelter
A strange thing happened on the day she died
The Devil laughed while the Angels cried
Lord, Lord I swear it's the gospel truth
Now here's a thing she said to me
"You'll never get to Heaven in the key of C"
I swear it's the gospel truth
"Minor chords can lead to sin
You'll always find the Devil I a mandolin"
I swear it'sthe gospel truth
A strange thing happened on the day she died
The Devil danced while the angels cried
Lord, Lord I swear it's the gospel truth
I can sense her near on a cold spring morn
Chasin' Jack Frost from the corn
I swear it's the gospel truth
Now some see death as the final frame
Other's just another station for the pligrim train
I swear it's the gospel truth
A strange thing happened on the day she died
The rains fell down when the angels c ried
Lord, Lord I swear it's the gospel truth
I'm a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling throgh this veil of woe
Ther's no sorrow grief or danger
in the land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
He said he'd meet me when I come
Only going over Jordan, going home
