CRUCIFIED THIEF BLUES lyrics

must I be the crucified thief ?
sometimes I feel like the crucified thief
but that mere simple fact
don't bring me no relief
even if I am the crucified thief

I saw the Holy Ghost
yes I boast I saw the Holy Ghost
while all the other sinners
down in Hell they roast
I witnessed the Holy Ghost

is this the Blood of the Lamb?
did I wash in the Blood of the Lamb?
this stuff it aint wine
or I aint the man I am
could this be the Blood of the Lamb ?

could this be the Valley of the Shadow?
the long lost Valley of the Shadow?
the shadow of death?
o Lord I just don't know
walking in the Valley of the Shadow

I wish I was the crucified thief
o God I hope I'm like the crucified thief
the one man promised Heaven
without the core belief
such as it was for the crucified thief
