Ain't no use in trouble baby, said the lord knows it's alright
Ain't nothing wrong no, I said there ain't nothing wrong darlin no no with me and you
If you could be my queen, lord knows honey I'm gonna be your king
I don't wanna be your pawn, don't wanna be your knight
Sure ain't gonna be your bishop, said the lord knows I ain't right
Ain't nothing wrong no, I said there ain't nothing wrong darlin no no with me and you
If you could be my queen, lord knows honey I'm gonna be your king
I hope you'll understand me, don't mean to be demanding
Woman I love you with all my might
The lord is my shepherd, and I'm here to testify
If I've ever done you wrong baby, let the lord strike me down tonight
Ain't nothing wrong no, I said there ain't nothing wrong darlin no no with me and you
If you could be my queen, lord knows honey I'm gonna be your king
King and Queen come together, turning candy to brandy
I hope you'll understand me, don't mean to be demanding
Woman I love you with all my might
The lord is my shepherd, and I'm here to testify
If I've ever done you wrong baby, let the lord strike me down tonight
Ain't nothing wrong no, I said there ain't nothing wrong darlin no no with me and you
If you could be my queen, lord knows honey I'm gonna be your king
The song "King & Queen" by Jeremiah Johnson talks about a couple who share a deep connection and are meant to be together. The lyrics suggest that the man is willing to do anything to be with the woman he loves and wants to be her king if she will be his queen. He assures her that there's no need to worry or cry and everything will be alright with them together.
As the song progresses, the lyrics take on a more spiritual tone with references to the lord being the shepherd and the man being there to testify. The man acknowledges that if he has ever done the woman wrong, he should be struck down by the lord that very night. In the end, the lyrics suggest that the two of them are meant to be together, uniting like a king and queen and turning candy into brandy.
