I thought I saw young Jesus Christ 
Underneath the Greenbriar Ridge
Holding hands one August night 
Not far from where we lived

I pass the days along the bridge 
And under lies a sea 
And broken glass was on the floor
I never could believe

I looked for her Jarvis Town 
Along the Monghalee
I looked for her in Williamstown 
Upon the Chesapeake 

I thought I saw Jesus Christ 
A hair's breadth from a brawl 
He turned his eyes away from me 
And saved me from my fall

I asked this man who lived here 
Many years before 
Why do I feel cursed for having any faith at all
And there I spoke to many of man
Who claimed to lye with she 
He laughed into his whiskey 
Then he shook his head at me

I thought I saw young Jesus Christ
Underneath the Greenbriar Ridge 
Holding hands with you one night 
Not far from where we lived

I pass the days along the bridge 
And under lies a sea 
And broken glass was on the floor
I never could believe
