refrain: 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 onboard 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
refrain
Seasons go by and she begins to fade And slowly she starts to understand A beautiful 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.
