I am the king of this country
I am the man in these parts
I am the king of this country
I am the man in these parts
I am the ruler of my kingdom
But I am a slave to my heart

Have you seen my Bathsheba
Naked in the midday sun
Have you seen my Bathsheba
Naked in the midday sun
She's God's own burning bush
She's the whole damn kingdome come

Your husband ain't no problem
Baby I'll take care of that
He's going on a trip
And he won't be coming back
You can wear your widow's weeds
For a few days dress in black
Then you can move up to the big house
You can get out of that shack

Rock me Bathsheba
Give me something I can feel
Rock me Bathsheba
From my crown down to my heel
Raise those dy bones in the valley
Roll me like Ezekiel's wheel

'Cause I am the king of this country
I am the man in these parts
I am the king of this country
I am the man in these parts
I am the ruler of my kingdom
But I am a slave to my heart
