The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest - Thea Gilmore[00:00:00]

Well Frankie Lee and Judas Priest [00:00:10]

They were the best of friends[00:00:13]

So when Frankie Lee needed money[00:00:15]

Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens[00:00:17]

And placed them on a footstool[00:00:20]

Just above the plotted plain[00:00:22]

Sayin "Take your pick Frankie Boy[00:00:25]

My loss will be your gain "[00:00:28]

Well Frankie Lee he sat right down[00:00:30]

And put his fingers to his chin[00:00:32]

But with the cold eyes of Judas on him[00:00:35]

His head began to spin[00:00:38]

"Would ya please not stare at me like that ＂ he said[00:00:40]

"It's just my foolish pride[00:00:43]

But sometimes a man must be alone[00:00:45]

And this is no place to hide ＂[00:00:47]

Well Judas he just winked and said[00:00:51]

"All right I'll leave you here[00:00:54]

But you'd better choose[00:00:56]

Which of those bills you want[00:00:57]

Before they all disappear ＂[00:00:59]

"I'm gonna start my pickin' right now[00:01:01]

Just tell me where you'll be ＂[00:01:03]

Judas pointed down the road[00:01:06]

And said "Eternity ＂[00:01:08]

"Eternity " said Frankie Lee[00:01:11]

With a voice as cold as ice[00:01:13]

＂That＇s right ＂ said Judas Priest ＂Eternity[00:01:16]

Though you might call it ＇Paradise ＇＂[00:01:18]

＂I don＇t call it anything ＂[00:01:21]

Said Frankie Lee with a smile[00:01:23]

＂All right ＂ said Judas Priest[00:01:26]

＂I＇ll see you after a while ＂[00:01:28]

Well Frankie Lee he sat back down[00:01:41]

Feelin＇ low and mean [00:01:43]

When just then a passing stranger[00:01:45]

Burst upon the scene[00:01:48]

Saying ＂Are you Frankie Lee the gambler[00:01:50]

Whose father is deceased [00:01:53]

Well if you are[00:01:55]

There＇s a fellow callin＇ you down the road[00:01:56]

And they say his name is Priest ＂[00:01:58]

＂Oh yes he is my friend ＂[00:02:00]

Said Frankie Lee in fright[00:02:03]

＂I do recall him very well[00:02:05]

In fact he just left my sight ＂[00:02:08]

＂Yes that＇s the one ＂ said the stranger[00:02:10]

As quiet as a mouse[00:02:13]

＂Well my message is he＇s down the road[00:02:15]

Stranded in a house ＂[00:02:18]

Well Frankie Lee he panicked[00:02:20]

He dropped ev＇rything and ran[00:02:22]

Until he came up to the spot[00:02:25]

Where Judas Priest did stand[00:02:28]

＂What kind of house is this ＂ he said[00:02:30]

＂Where I have come to roam ＂[00:02:33]

＂It＇s not a house ＂ said Judas Priest[00:02:35]

＂It＇s not a house it＇s a home ＂[00:02:37]

Well Frankie Lee he trembled[00:02:43]

He soon lost all control[00:02:45]

Over ev＇rything which he had made[00:02:47]

While the mission bells did toll [00:02:50]

He just stood there staring[00:02:52]

At that big house as bright as any sun[00:02:53]

With four and twenty windows[00:02:57]

And a woman's face in ev'ry one[00:03:00]

Well up the stairs ran Frankie Lee[00:03:04]

With a soulful bounding leap[00:03:06]

And foaming at the mouth[00:03:08]

He began to make his midnight creep[00:03:10]

For sixteen nights and days he raved[00:03:13]

But on the seventeenth he burst[00:03:16]

Into the arms of Judas Priest[00:03:18]

Which is where he died of thirst[00:03:21]

No one tried to say a thing[00:03:23]

When they took him out in jest[00:03:26]

Except of course the little neighbor boy[00:03:28]

Who carried him to rest[00:03:31]

And he just walked along alone[00:03:33]

With his guilt so well concealed[00:03:36]

And muttered underneath his breath[00:03:38]

＂Nothing is revealed ＂[00:03:41]

Well the moral of the story[00:03:53]

The moral of this song[00:03:55]

Is simply that one should never be[00:03:58]

Where one does not belong[00:04:00]

So when you see your neighbor carryin＇ somethin＇[00:04:03]

Help him with his load[00:04:06]

And don't go mistaking Paradise[00:04:08]

For that home across the road[00:04:10]

And don't go mistaking Paradise[00:04:13]

For that home across the road[00:04:15]
