Key: D major
Verse 1
built amongst the trees,
preached a man named Pumpkin Brown
who could wash the sins from me.
like a serpent hound
crawling through the weeds
and climbed the hills
for the good Lord's true indeed
like a serpent hound
sifting through the brush
when the morning came
and he could not get enough
He was looking for the key
to the good Lord's mystery
Well he came down from a gospel town
way up in Tennessee
And he'd never pass a single chance
to call out and to preach
and with those tongues he'd speak
to side floating on his feet
and at the pulpit he was found
while his words spit like fire
He was looking for the key
to the good lord's mystery

All right.

Well, the preacher screams
to the crowd around,
I'm gonna save your souls,
it's time to save your souls.
with their hands up high,
dancing with the moon
from side to side,
do they treat?
cast out their lies,

G
barking like dogs underneath the sky,
like God's holy feet
One night a soul around
saw the serpent bound
Stole the soul of Reverend John Brown
Sunk like a dagger right
through his veins
Lightnin' fast, man, it took his name
To the crowd did he refrain
Come on down from the holy sky
gathered round
They fanned his brow with the
holy sounds
For of this life now he is free
He held the key to the
good lord's mystery
Well that's the tale of old
John Wayne Brown
And to the heavens he was duty bound
He cast out devils
and he spoke new tongues
He followed signs
and never played with guns
And in the heavens this man'll stay
castin' shadows on the ground
for he shall stay
Preachin' for the Lord
almost every day
and the sacred lock and key
Where the reverend, his wife,
and the good old Lord
makes three you
How did you like the song?
