DEAD IRISH BLUES
This Book in My Right Hand
Lyrics
I said this book in my right hand it protects me from all evil
I said this book in my right hand it protects me from all evil
You know the sun shining in the sky it protects me from all evil
You know the mud between my toes it protects me from all evil

You know the birds singing in the tree they protect me from all evil
You know the moon shining down on me it protects me from all evil
You know the dove flying through the air it protects me from all evil
You know the shade of the big oak tree it protects me from all evil

You know the mountains surrounding me they protect from me all evil
You know the vallies way down below they protects me from all evil
You know the desert surrounding me it protects me from all evil
You know the rain washing over me it protects me from all evil

I said this book in my right hand it protects me from all evil
I said this book in my right hand it protects me from all evil
Let me hear you say yea, let me hear you say yea
Let me hear you say yea, let me hear you say yea
I said yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea
