[Verse 1]
There were twelve bonfires burning in a field
Judas, Judas
There was one for Peter, there was one for John
Every disciple he had one
Judas, Judas
There was one for James who died by the sword
The biggest and the best was for our dear Lord

[Chorus]
Burn, burn Judas, burn slow
Bright, bright, bright for our dear Lord's sake
Burn slow for Judas
Judas was a red-headed man

[Verse 2]
There was one for Judas and it stood all alone
Judas, Judas
Down by the marish and it smoked away
It smoked all night and it smoked all day
Judas, Judas
'Twas a proper green smother for all to see
But the fire burned sweet for our Lord on the tree

[Chorus]
Burn, burn Judas, burn slow
Bright, bright, bright for our dear Lord's sake
Burn slow for Judas
Judas was a red-headed man
