lyrics

Have you ever heard the phrase "Curiosity killed the cat"?
Well it came one day from a dirty place
A little story goes with that

Well a fine lady with good upbringing lived among the worst of men
But it tweren't her fault so the Lord did stop to hold back his justly wrath

Don't look back, Don't look back, Don't look back my fine lady
Just keep your eyes upon your feet
Don't give way to curious things

Well it must 'a been quite a feat of strength not to indulge
When everything around you seems most fun and pleasureful

Don't look back, Don't look back, Don't look back my fine lady
Just keep your eyes upon your feet
Don't give way to curious things

A respectful distance did she keep from these things and the Lord did see.
So when the time came to have his way, he gave grace to the lady

Don't look back, Don't look back, Don't look back my fine lady
Just keep your eyes upon your feet
Don't give way to curious things

And when the appointed day it came to lay flames upon the city
To the lady he gave a caution to save
What he said is what we sing

Don't look back, Don't look back, Don't look back my fine lady
Just keep your eyes upon your feet
Don't give way to curious things

For the hills she ran while the city burned with the fiery wrath of God
Well the flames enticed and the people screamed
Stop to look back did she

Stopped in her tracks she had to think, "look back or carry on?"
But overcome with curiosity she turned to a pillar of salt!

Don't look back, Don't look back, Don't look back my fine ladies
Just keep your eyes upon your feet
Don't give way to curious things
