The Ballad Of Ressurection Joe And Rosa Whore
Rob Zombie · Hellbilly Deluxe
Cut the lights and pray that you're dead
Opium dreams through the seven dials
And feel the pillow over your head
Rachel hide from Ned the crow
Keen eye on the peelers
Experiment 53
And no scratch for the dealers
She wants some more
Sweet Rosa whore
She wants some more
Sweet Rosa whore
I say hell is love
You say I must suffer
She's a motherfucker
Ressurrect me
I say hell is love
You say I must suffer
She's a motherfucker
Ressurrect me
Sleep well in your killing bed
Give a jig and show some life
Favor for a favor
Don't seperate the
Pain from the knife
All the doctors sing
You got to suffer for the cure
As the world fades away
You wonder where you were
She wants some more
Sweet Rosa whore
She wants some more
Sweet Rosa whore
I say hell is love
You say I must suffer
She's a motherfucker
Ressurrect me
I say hell is love
You say I must suffer
She's a motherfucker
Ressurrect me
She wants some more
Sweet Rosa whore
She wants some more
Sweet Rosa whore
I say hell is love
You say I must suffer
She's a motherfucker
Ressurrect me
I say hell is love
You say I must suffer
She's a motherfucker
Ressurrect me
The Ballad Of Ressurection Joe And Rosa Whore
Rob Zombie's 'The Ballad Of Ressurection Joe And Rosa Whore' stands as a haunting centerpiece on the 1998 album 'Hellbilly Deluxe.' This track exemplifies Zombie's signature blend of gothic horror aesthetics and heavy, distorted rock, drawing heavily from the atmospheric soundscapes of his earlier work. The song features a brooding, operatic vocal delivery that complements the album's relentless, driving rhythm section. It serves as a thematic bridge between Zombie's earlier 'House of 1000 Corpses' era and his later 'Hellbilly Deluxe' output, reinforcing the dark, cinematic narrative style that defines his discography. The recording captures the raw energy of late 90s industrial metal, creating a visceral listening experience that remains a staple of Zombie's catalog.
