Here comes Dolly Dagger
Her love’s so heavy, gonna make you stagger
Dolly Dagger, she drinks the blood from a jagged edge… aw, drink up baby

Been riding broomsticks since she was fifteen
Blowin’ out all the other witches on the scene
She got a bullwhip just as long as your life
Her tongue can even scratch the soul out of the devil’s wife.

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue he
And she told me a story yesterday,
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
And then she spread her wings high over me
She said she’s gonna come back tomorrow

And I said “fly on my sweet angel,
Fly on through the sky,
Fly on my sweet angel,
Tomorrow I’m gonna be by your side”

Sure enough this morning came unto me
Silver wings silhouetted against the child’s sunrise
And my angel she said unto
“today is the day for you to rise,
Take my hand, you’re gonna be my man,
You’re gonna rise”
And she took high over yonder

And I said “fly on my sweet angel,
Fly on through the sky,
Fly on my sweet angel,
Forever I will be by your side”

She’s just a nigh bird flyin’ throught the night
Fly on
She’s just a night bird making a midnight, midnight flight
Sail on, sail on
Well, she’s flyin’ down to me
But, ’til tomorrow got to set her free
Set her free

So all we got, baby, is one precious night
All we got is one precious night
Throw your blues and shoes and things
And lay it down under the bed
Just wrap me up in your beautiful wings,
Better hear what I say, yeah
Oh, carry me home
Please take me through your dreams
Inside your world I want to be

Until tomorrow no tears will be shed
Hold on ’til the sun gets out of bed
Hold on, hold on, baby
Fly on

You got my pride
Hanging out of my bed
You mess with my life
So I bought my lead

Even mess with my children
And you’re screaming at my wife
Get off of my back!
If you wanna get out of here alive

Freedom, freedom
Give to me
That’s what I need
Freedom, freedom
To live
Freedom, freedom
So I can give

You got my heart
Speaking electic water
You got my soul
Screaming and hollering

You know you hooked my girlfriend
You know the drug store man
Well I don’t need it now
I’m just trying to slap it out of her hands

Freedom, freedom
Give to me
That’s what I need
Freedom, freedom
To live
Freedom, freedom
That’s what I need

You don’t have to
Say that you love me
If you don’t mean it
You’d better believe

If you need me
Or you just wanna bleed me
Better stick in your dagger
Someone else
So I can leave, set me free!

There’s a red house over yonder, that’s where my baby stays.
There’s a red house over yonder, baby, that’s where my baby stays.
Well, I ain’t been home to see my baby in about ninety nine and one half days,
’bout time I see her.
