Holy Water Lyrics - Patty Griffin

Well someone missed that little spider 

spider upon my shoulder 

Devil smiled from way down there 

in his blackened hold yeah 

Well the priest recited holy words 

and wiped my forehead clean 

all around the world that day 

they heard the babies scream 

whoa let it out baby 

Those ruffles round my ankles 

and those ribbons in my hair 

well they could not hide that little spider 

lurking way down there 

Yeah so when I asked my mama 

what those little feelings mean 

she said go and find your rosary 

and count your blessings 

Whoa mama birds do it bees do it dogs do it mama 

mama I got some holy water 

I'm a gonna pour it all over me 

Gimme some of that holy water 

Come and pour it all over me 

I been eating contradictions 

just like they was little snacks and 

getting all that fiction confused with all those facts 

Yeah but I can't live that way no more I had to admit default 

Mama said she told me so (?) but I still love her so 

Oh Mama admit it you did it 

You (?) now mama 

Mama I got some holy water 

I'm a gonna pour it all over me 

Gimme some of that holy water 

Come and pour it all over me 

I don't know but I'll certainly find out 

Admit it you did it 

You sanctify sanctify 

I got some holy water 

I'm a gonna pour it all over me 

Gimme some of that holy water 

Come and pour it all over me 

I don't know but I'll certainly find out yeah
