I was on my knees
 last time I saw you.
 My suit was black.
 My voice was tremblin'.
 When I said hello,
 Frankie helped me to my feet.
 I could not stand.
 It looked as though you're sleepin'.
 Yeah, why her instead?

 St. Jude,
 Did you let me down?
 Hey, St. Jude,
 Yeah, who will I pray to now?

 My shoes are wet,
 as I walked to where they laid you.
 Your sister could not speak.
 But there's somethin' left to say.
 An only question.
 And one that needs askin.
 Why her instead?
 Why her instead of me?
 Yeah, why her instead?

 Ahh,St. Jude
 Did you let me down
 Hey, St, Jude
 Yeah, who will I pray to now

 ??Boston's harm??
 On a rainy Mother's day
 Wanna burn the town down
 and bring you back to Kansas
 Where I've, somethin' left to say.
 I don't believe in God.
 I don't believe in you no more.
 I don't believe in God.
 I don't believe in God no more.
 Why her instead?
