The Killer met the King in 1973
in a shotgun shack in southern Tennessee
Jerry said to Elvis, ?I've a come for the crown?
The King said to Jerry, ?Yo,
Shake a tailfeather, brother, now
Come on, follow me down
They locked the Gates of Eden
But we got a paradise now?
Mahalia met Millie in a barroom down in Philly
Laid a whiskey on her Bible, said, ?I'm seeking some truth?
Mahalia said, ?I'm liable to be in need of some revival?
Millie smiled at Mahalia, said, ?Yo,
Shake a tailfeather, sister, now
Come on, follow me down
They locked the Gates of Eden
But we got a paradise now?
Well, my name is D Wayne, you all know me
I shot mah daddy down in 1963
Well, they put me in the pen for 25 years
And when I got out I didn?t have no fear
D Wayne met the Devil and they argued 'bout the level
of prescription necessary for just lettin' it blow
So the Devil carried D Wayne 'cross the rivers and the high plains
Laid him out in the shade, said, ?Yo,
Shake a tailfeather, brother
Come on, follow me down
You locked the Gates of Eden
But we got paradise now
