The Elevators - O Jerusalem

If I forget thee O Jerusalem
May my tongue cleave to my palate
Like Brer Rabbit in the tar
If I forget thee O Jerusalem
May my fingers stick like honey
To the strings of my guitar
If I forget thee O Jerusalem
May the fathers of my fathers
Frown and damn me for a slave
If I forget thee O Jerusalem
May the children of my children
Turn their back upon my grave

O Jerusalem
A hardened heart is hard to find
O Jerusalem
If it takes a little while
I hope you don't mind (This could take some time)

If I forget thee O Jerusalem
May my fingers lose their cunning
And my amplifier too
If I forget thee O Jerusalem
Won't you send my mind a-running
To a different point of view
If I forget thee O Jerusalem
May my vision turn to seeing
Like a diamond into coal
If I forget thee O Jerusalem
May my spirit in its darkness
See the light inside my soul

O Jerusalem...
