[Verse 1]
Will you pray for me
When the roots of the oak and my ribcage are braidin'?
If I can think
Lord knows that I will fondly pray for you
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the grave where they lay me low

[Refrain]
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven

[Verse 2]
When I was a boy
I'd drink and love and smoke and snort my fill
But all the while
I kept in mind the Lord's redeeming grace
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the city where the heathens go

[Refrain]
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hopе for Heaven

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Do you reckon hе lets free will boys
Mope around in purgatory?

[Verse 3]
I know that Hell
Is just as real as I am surely breathin'
But I've heard tale
Of a middle ground I think will work for me
When the time has come for changin' worlds
I'll hedge my bets with a Catholic girl

[Refrain]
Catholic girl, pray for me
