lyrics
I was taking a ride across the water on the river Styx,
Saw a tempting little green-eyed creature. She looked about twenty-six.
She said, “How’d you like to you and I jump ship? I know these waters well.”
I said, “What the hell do they call you?” She said, “’Round there I’m Jezebel.”
Jezebel, Jezebel,
Pretty little demon from Hell,
She’ll steal your heart and your soul for to sell,
Keep away from that girl, Jezebel
We jumped clear into the water, icy, black, and still,
Rippling reflections of the moonlight, soaking up that Sin.
Now one of them souls overtook me, I grabbed a-hold of Jezebel,
And we made love on the shores of the river while the waves jumped up and fell.
Jezebel, Jezebel,
Pretty little demon from Hell,
She’ll steal your heart and your soul for to sell,
Keep away from that girl, Jezebel
Night turned into day, days turned into weeks,
I breathed her in like hot smoke and I held her in my sleep.
Fell to every order that my Jezebel did speak,
And I gave myself to her for a chance to feel her heat.
Jezebel, Jezebel,
Pretty little demon from Hell,
She’ll steal your heart and your soul for to sell,
Keep away from that girl,
Keep away from that woman,
Keep away from my woman,
Keep away
