Why don't you rise me up?
Down by the pumpkin patch
I've been waiting all year just to get myself born
I've been waiting all year just to meet you
It'll be a real special occasion
If you'd come on along
'cause we're gonna go trick or treating
Why don't you rise me up ?
Down by the pumpkin patch
It gets so cold, it gets so queer
While i'm sitting here waiting for you
To be sincere
I need you to come out to the fields at night
I need you to to plant your candied corn
You got to dance around naked
By the light of the full moon
For me to get good and born
You have to rise me up
From the pumpkin patch, rise me up
Why don't you?
You've got to, rise me up
Oh, i've been hurt so many times
Punched in the stomach and kicked in the eye
Left by the side of the road to die
But you wouldn't do that to me, i know why
'cause in the pumpkin patch, you rise up
Well I been hurt so many times
Kicked out of homes and bands and lives
Left all alone just asking why
You wouldn't do that to me, would you baby?
Up from the pumpkin patch
The lonely pumpkin patch
Up from the pumpkin patch, yes, yes
Amen
