The Music of Joanna

I have heard the blessed chords of sweet Joanna

I have heard the gentle moaning of the dove

I have felt the pulsing beat of dear Joanna

cs it carried out the orders of my love

I have heard her honeyed word

cnd the swelling of the choir proclaiming her

Seen the wicked stagger as if drunk

Stranded on the ships that she has sunk

Chorus

She got a drum so big, it could break this town

She got strings so strong, they could tear this mountain down

They could tear this mountain down

I do not kneel before her in a chapel

cnd her truth lies buried in no sacred book

She makes no false demands on who my friends are

When I'm naked she feels no need to look

She borrows only one command from him

Do not follow fast the multitude to sin

cnd her tune knows just one law

It is silent to all those who would make war

Chorus

Coda

She got a drum so big

She got strings so strong

She got a drum so big

She got strings so strong

She got a drum so big

She got strings so strong
