Oholah Oholibah Lyrics & Tabs by Gordon Gano & The Ryans
Oholah Oholibah
guitar chords lyrics
There were two sisters so I heard
You can read about them in the word
Of Ezekiel saw a wheel within a wheel
She who has a tent my tent is in her
For whom your love was spent I shall deliver
You and your sister Oholah
The younger and elder Oholibah
Cut off your ears cut off your nose
They will strip you of your clothes
And all your jewels
The fire never cools
They'll come against you from the north
All against you I'll bring them forth
From every side
To destroy and deride
All against you I'll bring them forth
From every side
To destroy and deride
Oh drink it down it's large and deep
Drain it out the pain you'll keep
Filled with sorrow
And drunken shame
Drink it now from your sister's cup
Drain it down and drink it it up
Cup of wrath
And they'll all laugh
Your breasts were pressed and squeezed of truth
Thus you long for the lewdness of your youth
But all in vain
You're a drunken shame
You played the harlot in your youth
I will slay your scarlet hands with truth
The word of the Lord
You'll fall by the sword
Oh drink it down it's large and deep
Drain it out the pain you'll keep
Filled with sorrow
And drunken shame
Drink it now from your sister's cup
Drain it down and drink it it up
Cup of wrath
And they'll all laugh
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Her paramours were horses
Horses horses were her paramours
Their pricks were big as horses
Their dicks shot come like horses
Like horses like horses for whores
Because you dared to forget me
You shall bear the fruit of you harlotry
And adultery
With idolatry
They defiled you with their lust
Too late you turn from them in disgust
Such desirable men
Assyrian and Babylonian
Oh drink it now it's large and deep
Drain it out the pain you'll keep
Filled with sorrow
And drunken shame
Drink this now from your sister's cup
Drain it down and drink it it up
Cup of wrath
And they'll all laugh
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
There were two sisters so I heard
You can read about them in the word
Of Ezekiel he saw a wheel within a wheel
And he can speak much better than me
Take a peek in chapter twenty-three
It's an allegory
(That's some sort of a story)
Oh all you women look and see
Heed the book or pay the penalty
For what you do
Is requited of you
From your sister look and learn
If you burn for lust for lust you'll burn
Like Oholah and Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
Oholah Oholibah
