Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, sinnerman
[Verse 2]
Oh, sinnerman
[Verse 3]
Oh, sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Oh, sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Oh, sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Oh, sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
[Verse 4]
I said rock
I said rock
I said rock
What's the matter with you rock?
Don't you see I need you, rock?
Good Lord, Lord
All on that day
Oh, sinnerman
[Verse 5]
Oh, sinnerman
Oh, sinnerman
[Verse 6]
So I run to the river
It was bleedin', I run to the sea
It was bleedin', I run to the sea
It was bleedin', all on that day
[Verse 7]
Oh, sinnerman
[Verse 8]
Don't you see me prayin'?
Don't you see me down here prayin'?
But the Lord said
Go to the Devil, the Lord said
All on that day
[Verse 9]
I said rock
Sinnerman
Sinnerman
Sinnerman
Sinnerman
Oh, sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Oh, sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Oh, sinnerman
