The genius of Jason and the Scorchers is evident in this overlooked obscurity. From the 1983 album "Fervor" (EMI) it highlights the Scorchers unusually poetic lyrics considering the subject matter. An honest to goodness original band in a world filled with copycats. How this one fell by the wayside I'll never know. Enjoy...

Lyrics: Pray For Me Mama (I'm A Gypsy Now)
by Jason Ringenburg and Jeff Johnson

Note: I couldn't find the written lyrics to this song anywhere so I just listened to it and wrote down what I thought they might be. If anyone knows where I can find the real ones, let me know and I will replace these. Thanks.

Jesus gives to those who give themselves
That's what you said
Do you say that now
'Cuz in my arms you took 'til I bled
But still I went
Down every road you led

So the gun was all I had to set me free
I couldn't fight the devil's seed
So the trigger pulled and the red lights flashed its sign
The battle's yours but the victory's mine

It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
In the mornin' rain smokin' gun in hand
Ten lonely years how my heart it still remembers
Pray for me mama I'm a gypsy now

So I journey back now to your lonesome grave
Searching for one thing in myself to save
'Cuz when the gun when off I closed an open door
Now it's locked and chained forever more

It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
In the mornin' rain smokin' gun in hand
Ten lonely years how my heart it still remembers
Pray for me mama I'm a gypsy now

Pray for me mama... I'm a gypsy now...
