[Verse 1]
John the Revelator's knocking at my door
John the Revelator's knocking at my door
Got an "0" Resonator made in 1934

[Verse 2]
Weevils in my cotton, crows in my corn
Weevils in my cotton, crows in my corn
You say my Redeemer wears a crown of thorns

[Verse 3]
I know a woman, she make a freight train moan
I know a woman, she make a freight train moan
She combs her hair with catfish bones

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
I threw a nickel in a wishing well
I threw a nickel in a wishing well
If I get to heaven only time will tell

[Verse 5]
I'm going where the water, it tastes like wine
I'm going where the water, it tastes like wine
Water in Texas here tastes like turpentine
[Verse 2]
Weevils in my cotton and crows in my corn
Weevils in my cotton and crows in my corn
You say my Redeemer, he wears a crown of thorns
You say my Redeemer, he wears a crown of thorns
