“Black Phillip" is the name of the bedeviled black goat that slowly but surely tempts and ruins a Puritan family trying to build a life in 17thC. New England. The song vibes Moorish and Gregorian modes and witch-chorus charisma. There are devilish backmaskings, magical-science guitars and electric auto-harp treatments.

lyrics

Black Phillip
A crown grows out his head
Black Phillip
To the Nanny Queen is wed
Jumping to the fence post
Running in the stall
Black Phillip
Is the King of all

CHORUS
Black Phillip
Black Phillip
Black Phillip
Black Phillip

Black Phillip
King of sky and land
Black Phillip
King of sea and sand
We are your servants
We are your men
Black Phillip
Eats the Lion from the Lion's den

CHORUS

Black Phillip
Is a merry King
Black Phillip
Has a mighty sting
His sceptre is cloven
He rules the land with mirth
Black Phillip
Will knock thee to Earth

CHORUS
CHORUS
