Walk The Chalk Line  (Judeen Chalk © 1998)

 

He walked in lookin’ good and lookin’ for a real good time

I said “now don’t you come on with a come on unless you plan to tow the line

I like to do things my way and what Belva wants Belva gets

It ain’t that I can’t compromise I just haven’t had to yet

 

CHORUS

Walk / Walk the Chalk line

Do it my way / we’ll be doin’ just fine

Walk / walk the Chalk line

If you wanna be mine you’ll walk

The Chalk line

 

My old man thought he’d try layin’ down the law with me

I said “now boy all that’s gonna get ya is to be my used-to-be”

I think what we have here is failure to communicate

I believe in second chances but for you it’s just too late

(to)

 

CHORUS

 

Someone asked the question

“Can’t we all just get along?”

It really ain’t no mystery just listen to this song

And walk

 

Look to the east / Look to the west / Look no further my way is best

(Walk)

There’ll be no need to fuss or fight / once you start admittin’ I’m always right

(Walk)

Say no to drugs and yes to he Chalks / you’ll walk a lot straighter when you do the walk

 

Come on and

CHORUS

(hand clap and booty slap right long with us on this part)

Boll Weevil  (Judeen Chalk ©1997)

 

Daddy quit providing when he took up with the bottle

Mama quit a-waitin’ round and took a job instead

She tried sellin’ hair nets at a road side stand

Business died due to lack of demand

I took it ‘pon myself to get me family fed

 

I said come on little sister fetch me my gun

You know it’s time for supper gonna get me some

Boll weevil / boll weevil

When you serve it hot you can’t taste the buckshot

Boll weevil’s on the plate whether you like it or not

 

Daddy couldn’t bring himself to use the pig for pork chops

Mama couldn’t bring herself to use the dog for stew

I ain’t exaggeratin’ y’all the times were tough

That bowl of steam wasn’t fillin’ enough

I did the only thing a hungry girl could do

 

I said come on little sister fetch me my gun

You know it’s time for supper gonna get me some

Boll weevil / boll weevil

Ain’t bad raw with a side of coleslaw

Boll weevil gonna love it if you didn’t before

 

Some folks rave about caviar and other fine delicacies

They ain’t tried boll weevil on white bread topped off with government cheese

 

Folks say you can’t catch a boll weevil with a shotgun

I say when I take aim ain’t nothin’ gets away

Ya pick out the bullet fragments and ya salt ‘em down

Grease up the skillet and toss ‘em around

My mouth just starts to water gota get me some today

 

Hey hey come on little sister fetch me my gun

You know it’s time for supper gonna get me some

Boll weevil / boll weevil

Tastes good fried a little okra on the side

Boll weevil don’t you knock it till you give it a try

 

Boll weevil / boll weevil

Tender and lean a good source of protein ) and riboflavin)

Boll weevil once you try it then you’ll know what I mean

Boll weevil

Lasso of the Lord  (Judeen Chalk additional lyrics Judelle Chalk ©1996)

 

There was a time when I was blind and wayward in my youth

I consorted with the Devil and refused to seek the Truth

It’s like I’s on a buckin’ bronc just destined to go down down down

Then somethin’ took a hold of me and turned my life around

 

Caught up in the lasso of the Lord

He wrangled my spirit and would not be ignored

Though my ways were wicked my faith He did stir

Caught up in the lasso of my Savior the Lord

 

Them demons don’t go easily / it took more than one go ‘round

But the good Lord grabbed me by the horns and wrestled me to he ground

With my eyes turned ever upward I renounced that life I led

I quit hangin’ ‘round with vipers and took to handlin’ snakes instead

 

Caught up in the lasso of the Lord

I’ve been roped tied and branded of my own accord

I’m a sheep in His flock now / a heifer in His herd

Caught in the lasso of my Savior the Lord

 

Well my days of passin’ bad checks are through 

And my shop liftin’ ways well they’re gone too

I won’t be working’ no more voodoo

I swear to God / Whoa I can’t do that neither

 

But I’m proud to say I’ve changed my ways and I’m here to testify

That the Lord’s lovin’ lariat saved my sorry hide

I used saddle up with sinners but now Satan’s reins are gone

Strapped on that feed bag of forgiveness and let the Lord’s love spur me on

 

Caught up in the lass of the Lord

In His heavenly round up my place is restored

I’ll be forever nourished at the trough of His word

Caught up in the lasso of my Savior the Lord

Caught up in the lasso of my Savior the Lord

 

Caught up / she’s handlin’ snakes now / caught up / she’s proselytizin’

Caught up / she’s spreadin’ the Good Word / caught up in His lasso

Caught up / she’s healin’ the sick now / caught up / she’s makin’ the blind see

Caught up / she’s makin’ the lame walk / caught up in His lasso

Caught up / she’ a mighty fortress / caught up / her circle’s unbroken

Caught up / her grace is amazin’ / caught up in His Lasso

Caught up / she’s walkin’ on water / caught up / she’s a fisher of men now

Caught up / she’s testifyin’ / caught up in His lasso

Caught up / she’s seen the light now / caught up / she’s leadin’ the Praise Team

Caught up / she’s spreadin’ the Good word / caught up in His lasso

Caught up in the lasso of my Savior

Praise the Lord

Prayer In Open G  (Judeen Chalk  ©1995)

 

I used to dream I was dancin’ on your grave

I lived for the day when you would drop dead

But now I know that just ain’t how a Christian behaves

And so I pray that somehow you get real sick instead

 

You brought my life nothin’ but sufferin’ and pain

So it ain’t much to ask that you suffer the same

Nothin’ fatal just real painful / that’ll still suit my aim

How I pray for the day Pain is your middle name

 

I planned to waste you for wastin’ our love

But my guardian angel spoke to me from above

Sayin’ girl “you’ll draw a check every month so long as he draws a breath

It ain’t fiscally sound to cause his untimely death”

 

So now when I’m nestled all snug in my bed

Thoughts of hemorrhoids and ulcers just dance

And how ‘bout scabies / that’s fitting ‘cuz y’all are one and the same

How I pray for the day Pain is your middle name

 

“Vengeance is Mine” sayeth the Lord

So if he’d smite you with colitis, gastritis, phlebitis

I’ll take that as my reward

 

I had a dream / it’s strange but it’s true

I dreamt that you were a capon with no cock-a doodle-doo

And I took that as a sign that you were fair game

‘Cuz I pray for the day Pain is your middle name

How I pray for the day Pain is your / your middle name

Hog Wild & Hog Tied (Judeen Chalk  ©1993)

 

Well I’m a God fearin’ woman ain’t got a hatin’ bone

But the Church has done rebuked me cause I got a lovin’ jones

Oh I tried the straight and narrow but it don’t turn out right

Cuz although I seem straight laced by day I’m strictly black lace by night

 

I go hog wild when you hog tie me up

Slather me with barbeque and lick me like a pup

A latex suit and steel tip boots makes the slut in me erupt

I go hog wild when you tie me up

 

 No one was suspecting  while singing in the choir

That the minister of music and me how we’d conspire

At first it started simple  whips and manacles would do

But before I knew what hit me we’s usin’ farm equipment too

 

I go hog wild when you hog tie me up

Poke me with a cattle prod and turn the voltage up

And I never dreamed a milking machine could make me feel so dang corrupt

I go hog wild when you tie me up

 

When our secret was discovered I’s there tethered to a pew

So when the deacon walked in us there was nothin’ I could do

Oh he swore I’d be tormented all the rest of my born days

So I just looked real deep into his eyes moanin’ ”let me count the ways”

 

Cuz I go hog wild when you hog tie me up

You know I like the rodeo so baby saddle up

And a good sharp spur is somethin’ I prefer so jab me hard and ride me rough

I go hog wild when you tie me up

(She goes hog wild when you tie her up)

I go hog wild when you hog tie me up

The Ballad of Belva Chalk  (Judeen Chalk ©1993)

 

She weren’t no beautiful girl in her teens

With a back brace, head-gear and hand-me-down jeans

All she wanted to be was the home coming queen

It never happened she was just too ugly

But time marches on and now she’s full grown

And the back brace and the head-gear well they’re long gone

Now the men are lining up for the just the chance to gawk

At the little country vixen known as Belva Chalk

 

CHORUS

Belva you’re lookin’ so beautiful

Belva you’re lookin’ so fine

Each night they’re drawin’ chalk lines

‘Round the bodies that Belva leaves behind

 

Belva’s popularity’s grown far and wide

She’s got men in the city and countryside

Her commitment to lovin’ is bona fide

She ‘s got a quota and she aims to fill it

She like ‘em short, tall, thin, fat, white or black

Don’t care if he drives a pick-up or a Cadillac

It don’t take much to get her on her back

To her a pair of pants is an aphrodisiac

 

CHORUS

 

You better be thinkin’ twice about mister / if she says it’s just a fever blister

‘Cuz when Belva comes around she likes to do the town

And I mean she likes to do the town

 

She’s never been to college but the men agree

When it comes to lovin’ Belva’s got Phd.

Too bad she had to earn it down there on her knees

But we’re proud to have a doctor in the family

 

CHORUS
