[00:14.46]Well, Frankie Lee and Judas Priest
[00:17.29]They were the best of friends
[00:20.19]So when Frankie Lee needed money one day
[00:23.30]Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens
[00:26.58]And placed them on a footstool
[00:29.77]Just above the plotted plain
[00:33.31]Sayin’, “Take your pick, Frankie Boy
[00:36.47]My loss will be your gain”
[00:38.84]
[00:40.31]Well, Frankie Lee, he sat right down
[00:41.75]And put his fingers to his chin
[00:46.27]But with the cold eyes of Judas on him
[00:49.64]His head began to spin
[00:52.89]“Would ya please not stare at me like that,” he said
[00:55.81]“It’s just my foolish pride
[00:59.38]But sometimes a man must be alone
[01:02.52]And this is no place to hide”
[01:04.68]
[01:06.62]Well, Judas, he just winked and said
[01:08.78]“All right, I’ll leave you here
[01:12.87]But you’d better hurry up and choose which of those bills you want
[01:18.38]Before they all disappear”
[01:19.25]“I’m gonna start my pickin’ right now
[01:21.66]Just tell me where you’ll be”
[01:25.72]Judas pointed down the road
[01:28.47]And said, “Eternity!”
[01:30.76]
[01:32.02]“Eternity?” said Frankie Lee
[01:35.18]With a voice as cold as ice
[01:38.38]“That’s right,” said Judas Priest, “Eternity
[01:41.05]Though you might call it ‘Paradise’”
[01:44.41]“I don’t call it anything”
[01:47.19]Said Frankie Lee with a smile
[01:50.69]“All right,” said Judas Priest
[01:53.93]“I’ll see you after a while”
[01:55.39]
[02:00.65]Well, Frankie Lee, he sat back down
[02:01.04]Feelin’ low and mean
[02:03.30]When just then a passing stranger
[02:06.41]Burst upon the scene
[02:09.58]Saying, “Are you Frankie Lee, the gambler
[02:12.47]Whose father is deceased?
[02:15.87]Well, if you are, there’s a fellow callin’ you down the road
[02:18.95]And they say his name is Priest”
[02:20.71]
[02:22.73]“Oh, yes, he is my friend”
[02:25.71]Said Frankie Lee in fright
[02:28.83]“I do recall him very well
[02:31.51]In fact, he just left my sight”
[02:35.30]“Yes, that’s the one,” said the stranger
[02:38.95]As quiet as a mouse
[02:41.20]“Well, my message is, he’s down the road
[02:44.57]Stranded in a house”
[02:45.99]
[02:47.99]Well, Frankie Lee, he panicked
[02:50.83]He dropped ev’rything and ran
[02:54.38]Until he came up to the spot
[02:58.47]Where Judas Priest did stand
[03:00.80]“What kind of house is this,” he said
[03:04.09]“Where I have come to roam?”
[03:07.07]“It’s not a house,” said Judas Priest
[03:10.24]“It’s not a house . . . it’s a home”
[03:12.25]
[03:13.71]Well, Frankie Lee, he trembled
[03:15.15]He soon lost all control
[03:20.76]Over ev’rything which he had made
[03:23.07]While the mission bells did toll
[03:26.05]He just stood there staring
[03:28.19]At that big house as bright as any sun
[03:32.45]With four and twenty windows
[03:35.58]And a woman’s face in ev’ry one
[03:38.61]
[03:39.05]Well, up the stairs ran Frankie Lee
[03:41.67]With a soulful, bounding leap
[03:44.96]And, foaming at the mouth
[03:47.79]He began to make his midnight creep
[03:51.75]For sixteen nights and days he raved
[03:54.59]But on the seventeenth he burst
[03:58.07]Into the arms of Judas Priest
[04:00.93]Which is where he died of thirst
[04:03.43]
[04:04.85]No one tried to say a thing
[04:07.14]When they took him out in jest
[04:10.61]Except, of course, the little neighbor boy
[04:13.74]Who carried him to rest
[04:16.95]And he just walked along, alone
[04:21.72]With his guilt so well concealed
[04:25.39]And muttered underneath his breath
[04:28.37]“Nothing is revealed”
[04:30.48]music
[04:37.09]
[04:44.08]Well, the moral of the story
[04:47.33]The moral of this song
[04:50.61]Is simply that one should never be
[04:53.47]Where one does not belong
[04:56.50]So when you see your neighbor carryin’ somethin’
[04:59.59]Help him with his load
[05:03.24]And don’t go mistaking Paradise
[05:06.15]For that home across the road
