From Long John Silver (1972).
In B Minor. Jorma solos in B Minor.
Slowly dances over me, anymanâs story
Jesus had a son by Mary Magdalene
And he rode the land like the man who went before
Young Jesus raised him proud, Mother Mary raised him proud
And he tracked down the men who laid his father down
One day the Pilate died with the fire in his side
Herod did die too, not the way wanted to
Yâsee the child knew the secrets of Egypt and Isis
(solo in minor)
Jews are foxier than, foxier than you
Any manâs story, dances over me
Magdalene remembered when the people smiled and had been looser
Looser than they d been since the day young Jesus died
Public execution enhanced by levitation
Fancy mutilation for two thousand years of time
Jesus could walk on the water
The man could dance on the Sea of Galilee
Donât you try breathinâ in that water
Miracles go only so far, you see
(Guitar break- B Minor)
2,000 years
They both dance over me
Any manâs story, they both dance over me
Like God loved his bastard Jesus
You know he did love that bastard son
God loved the good son of Jesus
You know he got off on the foxy daughter too
So you think young Jesus Christ never balled a lady
And you think young Mary never saw him smile wide & free
You wonât read it in the bible, but if you look youâre liable
To come across the truth about a man from Galilee
She raised the man upon the water, they had son they had a daughter
She hid them from the slaughter in the deep Black Sea
God loved the bastard son of Jesus
God got off on the sparklinâ daughter, too yes he did
Jesus could walk on the water
The man could dance on the Sea of Galilee
Watch him dance, watch him dance, watch him dance
