lyrics

There were twelve bonfires burning on the lawn
Every disciple he had one and one alone
There was one for Peter, there was one for John
There was one for the betrayer and it stood upon its own

Burn, burn, Judas burn slow
Bright, bright burning, burning for the Lord
Burn, burn, Judas burn slow
Judas was a red-headed man

It was a proper green smoke for all to see
But the fire burned sweet for our Lord upon the tree

Burn, burn, Judas burn slow
Bright, bright burning, burning for the Lord
Burn, burn, Judas burn slow
Judas was a red-headed man

Down by the marish they smoked away
They smoked all night and they smoked all day

Burn, burn, Judas burn slow
Bright, bright burning, burning for the Lord
Burn, burn, Judas burn slow
Judas was a red-headed man

There were twelve bonfires burning on the lawn
There was one for the betrayer and it stood upon its own

Burn, burn, Judas burn slow
Bright, bright burning, burning for the Lord
Burn, burn, Judas burn slow
Judas was a red-headed man
