Did you hear the story
The man from above
Who came down to save us
And show us his love
Mother has told her to marry a man
Who lives by the Gospel
The truth in his hands
She said "Momma forgive me
I'm down on my knees
My baby, he's different
He doesn't believe"
If she's to die before she wakes
She'll give to her darling her soul to take
Too nice for a sinner
Too mad for a saint
She's found her religion and love is his name
Bring hell or highwater
Bring the storm, ain't no bother
Bring the devil, Holy Father
Walk her to slaughter
She'll only get stronger
You're not gonna stop her
Hell or highwater
He is her saviour
He's just divine
Calls him her angel
But won't let him fly
They say love is patient
They love is kind
But her love is rabid
Deaf, dumb and blind
If jealousy takes him
By fire or flood
She'll sacrifice her soul
Body and blood
Bring hell or highwater
Bring the storm, ain't no bother
Bring the devil, Holy Father
Walk her to slaughter
She'll only get stronger
You're not gonna stop her
Hell or highwater
♪
Hell or highwater
♪
He lay with another
Bowed at her feet
He should have known better
I won't turn my cheek
Bring hell or highwater
Bring the storm, ain't no bother
Bring the devil, Holy Father
She walks him to slaughter
And only gets stronger
You're not gonna stop her
Hell or highwater
(Bring the storm)
Ain't no bother
(Bring the devil)
Holy Father
She walks him to slaughter
And only gets stronger
You're not gonna stop her
Hell or highwater
