Ed Du Bois, IslandHome, Records: Songs/Lyrics/Stories

1
They burned you at the stake not once, not even
twice,
They burned you three times to make sure there was no life,
..In Joan of Arc.

Chorus
What did they fear?
What was there not to like?
You were just nineteen,
You were so full of life,
You led those men to war,
You sacrificed your life,
.....My Joan of Arc.

2
Did the clothes that you wore,
Make them think you were a whore?
Did you honor your mission from God?
Were your battle calls,
Heard by French who had no balls?
At Orleans the English did fall,
..To Joan of Arc.

Chorus

3
I feel sorry for you my lovely Joan of Arc,
Your days were so futile and dark,
But your fearless quest gave Frenchmen new
respect,
The English were slayed by the sword,
...Of Joan of Arc.

Chorus

4
Were you that witch that the church did blame?
Or were you that saint that they later did name?
either way's no help to you that day in May,
When they burned you three times and then began to pray.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
