Redeemed lyrics

Don't you give up my young, young friends

Here's a story I think will please

How Sir Rastus Bear

Was in fact redeemed

Redeemed from the cell

To which he'd been thrown

By men whose love was more

For the ice and cold

Goblins of surcease, villains of wise

They pranced his brain on through the long, long night

Sir Rastus Bear, who'd ever believe

You'd be by a song, redeemed

Upon the north forty

I'm sure it was Christmas day

When Sir Rastus Bear

Taught children how to play

Games of life and love

And songs, oh, those songs

Oh, those deep, but true

Hill country songs

Goblins of surcease, villains of wise

They pranced his brain on through the long, long night

Sir Rastus Bear, who'd ever believe

You'd be by a song, redeemed

Redeemed good lord, from the ice and cold

Redeemed from the cell to which I've been thrown

Redeemed by virtue of a country song

And I believe, good Lord, it won't be long, won't be long

It won't be, won't be long

Long long long long

Long long long long

Long long long long

Long long long long long
