She's been crying so long
I hear her starting to pray

Every once in a while I want you
Every once in a while
Hear me oh, God
I'm still down at the convent

They sent you far away
They took your only boy
You will get used to me
Welcome to your new joy

Down here serving the priests
Heloise, Heloise, Heloise

They sent you far away
They took your only boy
You will get used to me
Welcome to your new joy

Down here serving the priests
Heloise, Heloise, Heloise
Heloise, Heloise, Heloise
Heloise, Heloise

I hear her starting to pray
