Your close friend, your close friend –
Your enemies cannot harm you, but watch your close friend –

When the soldiers were after Jesus, they could not get to Him –
They made a plot with Judas, who Christ took for his friend –

Your close friend, your close friend –
Your enemy cannot harm you, but –

They planned to give him money, and for the garden they made a start
Judas would not bring the soldiers in the light, so they wait until it got dark

Your close, your close friend
Your enemies cannot harm you, but watch your close friend

Christ spoke fair at the table, told the boys to watch and see
“The hand that will betray your master, now sops in the dish with me”

Your, your close friend
Your enemies cannot harm you, but

Judas was Christ’s enemy, he let the soldiers in
When they had reached the garden, Christ still called Judas his friend

Your, your close friend
Your enemies cannot harm you, but watch your close friend

People, I want to tell you, just how your friend will do
They’ll wait to get your secrets, and dig a pit for you

Your, your close friend
Your enemies cannot harm you, but

When you tellin’ your secrets, they will laugh like they are glad
But they never say anything about it, until you make them mad

Your, your close friend
Your enemies cannot harm you, but watch your close friend

Your enemy knows nothing about you, and there’s no way to get in
But the way your heart is made to bleed is by your bosom friend

Your close
