They go wild simply wild over me Though I've never done them harm that I can see I'm as gentle as a lamb but they take me for a ram They go wild simply wild over me Oh the cop he went wild over me And he held his gun where everyone could see He was breathing rather hard when he saw my union card He went wild simply wild over me Then the judge he went wild over me And I plainly saw we never could agree So I let the man obey what his conscience had to say He went wild simply wild over me Then the jailor he went wild over me When he locked me up and threw away the key It seemed to be the rage to keep me in a cage He went wild simply wild over me Now they go wild simply wild over me I'm referring to the bedbug and the flea They murmur in my sleep they disturb my slumber deep They go wild simply wild over me Will the roses grow wild over me When I've gone into the land that is to be When my soul and body part in the stillness of my heart Will the roses grow wild over me Well then God he went wild over me When I knelt beside the throne on bended knee When the angels heard me yell they shot me down to hell They went wild simply wild over me
