Lyrics

Oh, sinnerman, where you gonna run to?

Sinnerman where you gonna run to?

Where you gonna run to?

All on that day

Well got to run to the rock

Please hide me, I run to the rock

Please hide me, I run to the rock

Please hide me Lord

All on that day

But the rock cried out

"I can't hide you," the rock cried out

"I can't hide you," the rock cried out

I ain't gonna hide you there

All on that day

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

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

So I run to the river

It was boilin', I run to the sea

It was boilin', I run to the sea

It was boilin', all on that day

So I run to the Lord

Please hide me, Lord

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

"Go to the Devil"

He said, "Go to the Devil"

All on that day

So I ran to the Devil

He was waitin', I ran to the Devil

He was waitin', ran to the Devil

He was waitin', all on that day

I cried, power, power (power, Lord)

Power (power, Lord)

Power (power, Lord)

Power (power, Lord)

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Well, I run to the river

It was boilin', I run to the sea

It was boilin', I run to the sea

It was boilin', all on that day

So I ran to the Lord

I said Lord, hide me, please hide me

Please help me, all on that day

He said, "Child where were you

When you oughta have been prayin'?

I said Lord, Lord

Hear me prayin', Lord, Lord

Hear me prayin', Lord, Lord

Hear me prayin', all on that day

Sinnerman, you oughta be prayin'

Oughta be prayin', sinnerman

Oughta be prayin', all on that day
