lyrics

Absalom, my fairest child
You can ride that horse all night long
You're gonna ride it into your grave
The earth is God's and his trees grow tall
Their arms are reachin' for your soul
They're gonna catch you by your braids
Absalom, oh Absalom, dearest child, wrathful son
Anger can not save you now

What can a young man do?
What can a young man do?

Absalom, my bravest child,
You can raise that sword to your father's eyes
But my servant's spear's gonna find your side
The earth is God's and his trees grow tall
The forest will consume you all
You can't run from the wrath of God
Absalom, oh Absalom
Dearest child, wanderin' son,
Ride and meet your fate

And you should have known
You can not fight the Lord

And I will call, and I will weep
Please save my son, bring him to me

Absalom, my fairest child,
You can ride that horse all night long
You will ride to meet your fate
And I should have known that my son so bold
He'd bear my sword, he'd take my sword
He'd take my sword to his grave
