Will you pray for me When the roots of the oak and my ribcage are braidin'? If I can think Lord knows that I will fondly pray for you High on the hill where the fox horns blow And down in the grave where they lay me low Catholic girl, pray for me You're my only hope for heaven When I was a boy I'd drink and love, smoke and snort my fill All the while I kept in mind the Lord's redeemin' grace High on the hill where the fox horns blow And down in the city where the heathens go Catholic girl, pray for me You're my only hope for heaven Do you reckon he lets free-will boys Mope around in purgatory? I know that hell Is just as real as I am surely breathin' But I've heard tale Of a middle ground I think could work for me When the time has come for changin' worlds I hedge my bets with a Catholic girl Catholic girl, pray for me
