[Verse 1]
[D]Bury me in blood oil

Salt, sugar, water pails
Build me black Jesus ('cause Jesus

Shackles pulling at your hair

Shine [A]me from [D]roots out
(wash me from the neck down)
Wash me from [F]the neck [D]down
(put me in the fat stores)
Put me [A]in the [D]fat stores
(take me to the tree line)

Down to the river 'cause I don't
