Evlyn Roe Lyrics

Oh, come with us, Evlyn Roe
To Jesus's land that glows
With glory, oh, hallelujah
Do you wanna be clean?
Evlyn Roe, this beautiful girl
She wants to get to the Holy Land
Asks the captain if she can get on board
And the captain says, babe you bet you can

You'll pay with your body, you can keep your soul
And the sailors laugh as she steps through the door
And they dance all day and they dance all night
On the sea of sin, never to see the shore
Oh, come with us, Evlyn Roe
To Jesus's land that glows
With glory oh hallelujah
Do you wanna be clean?

Seasons go by and she begins to fade
And slowly she starts to understand
A beuatiful body, poisoned with plague
Will never get to the Holy Land
She gives in to the call of the sea
It's just the way she wants it to be
But she's too guilty for Heaven and too pure for Hell
Her soul is doomed for eternity

Oh, come with us, Evlyn Roe
To Jesus's land that glows
With glory oh hallelujah
Do you wanna be clean?
