I was the master’s best friend
He was the only man I knew
It's been a tall harvest
That he turned us all onto
But my lips are sealed by history
And my tale I cannot tell
My name is jude iscariot
My home address is hell
So baby don't you grieve after me
No no no
It was two hours gone midnight
When he called me to his side
He said hey jude I need you,
I need you to take a ride
You have to tell those guys down town
That my time's long overdue
And wait a minute jude don't stick around
Cos nobody's gonna love you
Now you've got all the silver
And no forgiveness in your hearts
And I've got 20 feet of rope to end
Just where your guessing game starts
I've got endless books to write you
But my tale I cannot tell
Cos the only way you'll hear me
As if you live in the same hell
baby don't you grieve after me
