The Weeper
You know that poet has seen some pretty evil things in his time. While once he saw famous magician, the Confusing Abner, performing a trick out on the streets, what would be his very last trick, for afterwards, he'd be taken off the prison, and electrocuted while sitting in Ol' Sparky

You see, the Confusing Abner had picked a spectator out of the crowd, told him to select a card, and that spectator did select a card and he showed it to the folks in the crowd around him. And the Confusing Abner had him put that card back into the deck, after a couple of dubious triple undercuts, he said he was ready to reveal to the spectator what his card was. At which point, the Confusing Abner reached into his pocket, and he pulled out his Roscoe, and he shot that poor spectator right in the heart

Well, when the evidence was presented at his trial, all the witnesses did agree that in fact, the card that he had shown was had been the Ace of Hearts

And so, he was a pretty decent magician, but probably the evilest thing that the poet ever saw...? Well I'll tell you that story right now

[Verse 1]
There is little here on earth that I've laid up in store
And the blessings you can't bank upon I tend to value more
And I think I've saved enough to buy a marker for my grave
Professing, "Jesus keeps what Jesus saves."
Tonight I'll sit with Ol' Sparky and for my crime I'll pay
Tomorrow I will lay in wait until the Judgement Day
Every time I close my eyes, the face is still the same
But damn if I can recollect her name

[Verse 2]
I came up with the perfect plan to leave my woes behind
So, I went to see the preacher man for I would know his mind
And he said, "Although your tiny boat is beaten by the waves
Remember Jesus keeps what Jesus saves."
I met the preacher by the river and how the waters teamed
Though we almost drowned that day, I came up redeemed
With the water still upon me and in my heart a song
I went to find the one that did me wrong
[Verse 3]
I knew that if I found her I would catch her in her sin
And I knew that she would go to hell if there I did her in
And I knew that I could face the judge and the sentence that he gave
Convinced that Jesus keeps what Jesus saves
A glory to be shorn of hair and bounded up by cords
And as a humble supplicant I come before my Lord
I tell them I am ready now to send my soul aflight
They pull the switch, and then I see the light
