Lyrics for Don't You Grieve

I was the master's best friend He was the only man I knew It's been a tall harvest And he turned us all on two But my lips are sealed by history And my tale I cannot tell My name is Judas Iscariot My home address is Hell So baby don't you grieve after me No no no, don't you grieve after me So baby don't you grieve after me No no no, don't you grieve after me Baby you don't grieve for me when I'm here Don't grieve for me when I'm gone. It was two hours gone midnight When he called me to his side He said, hey Jude, I need you boy, I need you to take a ride. I want you to tell those guys down town My time's almost due But wait a minute Jude don't stick around 'Cos no body's gonna kiss you Now you've got all the silver But no forgivness in your heart And I've got 20 feet of rope To end just where? Your gessing game starts. I've got endless books to write you But my tale I cannot tell The only way you're living is If you're living in St Hell.
