D D D D
[Chorus]
D
Jesus loves me but not my wife
G D
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
Jesus love me, dat for sure
'Cause the Bible tell me so
[Verse 1]
D
Read your Bible good and well
G D
Don't forget about the apple spell
Don't fall in that wishing well
Wishing for heaven and gettin' hell
[Verse 2]
D
Wash behind your ears, don't smell
G D
Cover them freckles, don't ask, don't tell
Kiss your papa, but not too long
Hold his hand, don't do no wrong
[Chorus]
D
Jesus loves me but not my wife
G D
Not my nigger friends or nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, dat for sure
'Cause the Bible tell me so
[Verse 3]
D
Hush, don't cry, dry them tears
G D
Time will wash away all them years
Scar or a bruise, pick and choose
When you're all grown up you'll have the blues
[Verse 4]
D
Life will give you that wedding ring
G D
Fancy cars and diamond things
You best believe in Jesus' way
And never fall asleep forgetting to pray
[Chorus]
D
Jesus loves me but not my wife
G D
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus love me, dat for sure
'Cause the Bible tell me so
G D
'Cause the Bible tell me so
