Jeremiah
God called him out in a time of famine and drought
He was young and had his doubts
But he set his face like flint, carry his mission out
About sundown, he rode his pale horse out of town
Not afraid of their faces
He's got the winning hand, it ain't no eights and aces
Jeremiah, Jeremiah, well he stood up for the weak
Brought the wicked to their knees
Jeremiah had the fire in his bones way down deep
He just couldn't help but speak

And so he rode across the high plains where he was bound to go
He was challenged everywhere
But his draw was fast and he had justice to spare
There was no man, no outlaw that he could not withstand
Though many tried to back him down
He stuck to his guns and he always stood his ground
Jeremiah, Jeremiah, he stood up for the weak
Brought the wicked to their knees
Jeremiah, like prairie fire, sent the lawless to their graves
The innocent he helped to save

He saw dark clouds on the horizon as he rode into town
His adversaries lay in wait
Looks like an ambush, might be a fateful day
No fair fight, this time it was might against right
He was outnumbered and outgunned
They shot him down at the setting of the sun
Jeremiah, Jeremiah, he stood up for the weak
Brought the wicked to their knees
Jeremiah had the fire in his bones buried deep
May he ever rest in peace
