Jesus Was a Cross Maker Songtext
von Cass Elliot

One time I trusted a stranger
Cuz I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticin′ me
Tho' there was somethin′ wrong,
But when I turned he was gone

Blindin' me, his song remains remindin' me,
He′s a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker

Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin′ low for me

He wages war with the devil
A pistol by his side
And tho' he chases him out windows
And won′t give him a place to hide,
He keeps his door open wide

Fightin' him he lights a lamp invitin′ him,
He's a bandit in a heartbreaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker


Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin′ low for me

I heard the thunder come rumblin'
The light never looked so dim
I see the junction get nearer
And danger is in the wind
And either roads lookin' grim

Hidin′ me, I flee, desire dividin′ me,
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker

Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin′ low for me

One time I trusted a stranger
Cuz I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticin' me
Tho′ there was somethin' wrong,
But when I turned he was gone

Blindin′ me, his song remains remindin' me,
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker


Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin′ low for me
