lyrics

well now, who's that in that silver chariot
judas iscariot
come on down and see
oh, brother, won't you come on down

he's got sixteen silver in his right hand
oh, lord, mercy me
he's got sixteen more on a holy man
oh, lord, mercy me

who's that swingin' there o'er the field
oh, lord, mercy me
judas bought hisself all of potter's field
oh, lord, mercy me

who's that in that silver chariot
judas iscariot
come on down and see
oh, sister, won't you come on down

I heard he got hisself a purdy blue wife
oh, lord, mercy me
they say he built her outta' jar of clay
oh, lord, mercy me

when judas went down to the river to pray
oh, lord, mercy me
he hid his wife from the light of day
oh, lord, mercy me
as the sun did shine so judas did kneel
oh, lord, mercy me
and while he prayed his wife did melt
oh, lord, mercy me

who's that in that silver chariot
judas iscariot
come on down and see
oh, mother, won't you come on down

well now, who's that skulkin' by the rear back door
oh, lord, mercy me
there's news from heaven with a note in hand
oh, lord, mercy me
sayin', judas, you're gonna pay for what yous done
oh, lord, mercy me
you went and sold my only son
oh, lord, mercy me

well now, who's that in that silver chariot
judas iscariot
come on down and see
oh, father, won't you come on down
