The Sinner Songtext
von Hugh Coltman

I been laid upon my bed for days
Skin cold and clammy and my eyes are glazed
People see me coming, turn their back around
Try to call the doc but it′s a busy tone
Well I hear their mouths a-clacking it's judgement day
Say he who gave he can take away
All this generosity bound up tight
Don′t stop the babies crying in the dead of night


I thought that Jesus loved the sinners
They told me when I was a kid
Maybe his papa's got other ideas
He keep them hid
He keep them hid

There ain't nothin I′ve done that gives me shame
It′s the hunger in my belly that's the one to blame
Well first they take your strength until you′re dry and old
Then they bring the band to carry off your soul

I thought that Jesus loved the sinners
They told me when I was a kid
Maybe his papa's got other ideas
He keep them hid
He keep them hid
