He Stoops To Smell The Purple Roses

Surely goodness and mercy

will follow you all the days

Of your life amen.

Looking at a mirror to hear

The good Lord speak, like footsteps;

You hear the rustle and for all you care

For all you care it might be him

Or the devil in a casual stroll.

The devil in a casual stroll.

Muffle a prayer, Friend

say a prayer for yourself

Clench your fists and pray

Muffle your voice and pray

Pray that the devil, in his casual stroll

Sees a purple rose and stoops.

The devil sees a purple rose,

and stoops to smell.

He stoops to smell.
