St. Teresa, I heard you're coming to town
Your little footsteps made the sweetest sound
You've come to put me down, come to put me down, down, down 

Mother, is it OK if I call you ma?
Owen walked away and broke the law
Standing on the bridge, feeling like falling
Would you pray for me, mamma?

St. Teresa, have mercy on my soul
The good must die young
That's why I'm getting so old
Then come to put me down, come to put me down, down, down

Mother, is it OK if I call you ma?
Owen walked away and broke the law
Standing on the bridge, feeling like falling
Would you pray for me, mamma?

I was never good at confession
Never really that good and I spanned it all
'Cause they don't want me hanging around the mission
Singing hallelujah, singing hallelujah-jah-jah

St. Theresa, could I kiss your skin?
Come a little closer to this hell I’m living in
And when they put me down, when they put me down

Mother, is it OK if I call you ma?
Owen walked away and broke the law
Standing on the bridge, feeling like falling
Would you pray for me, mamma?
Would you pray for me, mamma?
Would you stay with my mamma
Singing hallelujah-jah-jah
