James Brothers - Judas Iscariot Blues Lyrics

There were twelve of us at the supper
So why did they pick on me?
There were twelve of us at the supper
So why did they pick on me?
'Cause they knew i needed money
The could bribe me easily

They told me if i helped them
They would pay me well
They told me if helped them
That they would pay me well
Just kiss him on the cheek they said
And that way we can tell

I watched as they arrested him
And took him off to die
I watched as they arrested him
And took him off to die
And just before he disappeared
He turned and caught my eye

I don't know what came over me
Guess the money turned my head
I don't know what came over me
Guess the money turned my head
I just pray that come tomorrow
He'll forgive me when i'm dead
