Lyrics

Sinnerman

Lord said sinnerman where you gonna run to, all on that day?

Run to the sea, sea won't ya hide me?
Run to the sea, sea won't ya hide me?
Run to the sea, sea won't ya hide me?
All on that day.

Lord said sinnerman the sea'll be a boilin'
Lord said sinnerman the sea'll be a boilin'
Lord said sinnerman the sea'll be a boilin'
all on that day.

Then I'll run to the stars, stars won't ya hide me
run to the stars, stars, won't you hide me?
run to the stars, stars, won't you hide me?
All on that day.

Lord said sinnerman the stars'll be a fallin'
Lord said sinnerman the stars'll be a fallin'
Lord said sinnerman the stars'll be a fallin'
All on that day.

Then I'll run to the Lord, Lord won't you hide me?
Run to the Lord, Lord won't you hide me?
Run to the Lord, Lord won't you hide me?
All on that day.

Lord said sinnerman you should'a been a prayin'
Lord said sinnerman you should'a been a prayin'
Lord said sinnerman you should'a been a prayin'
All on that day.

Satan! Satan! Won't you hide me?
Satan! Satan! Won't you hide me?
Satan! Satan! Won't you hide me?
All on that day.

Satan said sinnerman step right in
Satan said sinnerman step right in
Satan said sinnerman step right in
All on that day.

All on that day.
