Standard (EADGBE)

he stands on the alter so stout and erect

the hair bristles up on the back of my neck

his creamy white collar doth tame the wild beast

i, i'm in love with a priest

he speaks so discreetly and beckons to me

come forth to the rail i'll give comfort to thee

i'll hear your confession and give you release

i, i'm in love with a priest

God save me father

i surely have sinned

a scotch and a water

a tonic & gin

but hell or high whiskey

i will make my peace

i, i'm in love with a priest

i love his black cassock, his promise and vow

i worship the sweat that rolls down from his brow

though many have suffered with cause to repent

i dare not desert him for six weeks of lent

the hand lifts the spirit, his head tilts to mine

to thirst him is human, to quench is divine

he fills me with glory, the longing has ceased

i, i'm in love with a priest

God save me father

i surely have sinned

a scotch and a water

a tonic & gin

but hell or high whiskey

i will make my peace

i, i'm in love with a priest

now don't weep me daughters - it's not what you think

it's only a guinness, the father of drink

if anything's rising that would be the yeast

(N/C)

i'm in love with a priest.

i'm in love with a priest.(Repeat)
