Lyrics

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
