Sinnerman
o sinnerman where will you run to
sinnerman where will you run to
sinnerman where will you run to
all on that day
run to the mountain
the mountain wont hide you
run to the sea
the sea will not have you
and run to your grave
your grave will not hold you
all on that day
see sinnerman
mountains are falling
sinnerman
the sea it rages
sinnerman
the grave will not hold you
all on that day
run to the lord
lord please hide me

Outlaw Song
early one days morning
i came upon a fine young horse
i mounted up and led him onward
he was gray as the sky above
as the sky above
i slept down by the river
and what a sad dream i had
i'm afraid my love
it must be true
today i will go and leave you
today i will be gone
i awoke and was surrounded
nine of the law stood before me
askin me my name and business
demanding proof of me
demanding proof of me
proof of me
what do you want from me
would you have me your prisoner
no but you must give us that horse

Prison Shoe Romp
Are ya listenin boy the man he hung see
Youve heard it said thats what he done for me
Did ya hear that girl -- the man he calls your name
You best go to him its he not me can loose your chains
Then well commence to walk sometime in prison shoes
Well walk an walk an walk away our blues
Ida done better
From cradle to coffin
In between theres just too much walkin
I aint no odd man out -- junk hiding junk
I aint nothin to speak of
Just put it in the back an leave it off the rack
No I aint what youre used to
Did ya taste that boy
That blood is as sweet as wine
Yeh I got it on me all the time
Well do some runnin too
You me an ruby-lu
Spin black blades an Ill unwind
Just let me go to sleep the lord my soul to keep

Coal Black Horses
Just as sure as that suns gonna shine
When he comes at his table i will dine
Just as sure as that dog's gonna whine
In my heart no longer will i pine
Just as sure as by evil you are torn
The sky will open up an' an angel blow his horn
An' down come jesus lookin' so fine
Just as sure as that girl she is mine....
An' i say
Hey hey hey it's always forever
Hey hey hey it's never or now
I dug a hole an' hollowed it out
Yes an' i fell in
Oh lord i'm caught in the cord....
The cord of my own sin
Shoot 'em up cowboy - yeah i got away
But i been draggin' this chain the whole way.....
An i say
Hey hey hey it's always forever
Hey hey hey it's never or now

Cinder Alley
Lovely lovely carol sue
I see the heel of the father
Crush the head of the serpent for you
An that beast who found
His way up to your room
You know the one the one
Whos colors are never true
Yeah you do
Yet all the while neath
His banner you did stand
neath the shadow of his wing
Do you remember
Sorrow stands near an close at hand
Sorrow stands an in sorrows hand
The burning ember
Hell come a cinder
Fire call the kettle black
The dark can only hinder it
It will not hold you back
Nor tear you asunder

Alone And Forsaken
we met in the springtime
when the blossoms unfold
the pastures green
and the meadow gold
our love was in flower
as the summer grew on
her love like the leaves
have all withered and gone
roses have faded
and there's frost at my door
the bird of the morning
wont sing anymore
the grass in the valley
has started to die
and out in the darkness
the whippoorwill cry
alone and forsaken
by fate and by man
o lord if you hear me
take hold my hand

Straw Foot
I guess you didnt hear me
When I told you for the first time
Well dont you worry
It wont be the last
All I need a floorboard
An a wooden shoe
Step aside an let my lady through
Hey foot, straw foot
Low we lay em down
Hey foot, straw foot
Up an back around
See the high priest
He took my place
When the judge looks to me
He saw his sons face
Not gonna join you in
Your tower of babble, boy
Tired o that talkin
Im sick o that noise
Hey foot, straw foot

La Robe A Parasol
trim your dress, trim your dress
trim your dress in the parasol style
if you have hips, if you have hips
trim your dress in the parasol style
trim your dress, trim your dress
trim your dress in the parasol style
go to sleep, go to sleep
go to sleep in your baby's arms
balance yourself, balance yourself
balance yourself in your baby's arms
if you have hips, if you have hips
trim your dress in the parasol style
French version:
tailles ta robe, tailles ta robe,
tailles ta robe la mode a parasol
si t'as des hanches, si t'as des hanches,
tailles la robe la mode a parasol
tailles ta robe, mais tailles ta robe,
tailles ta robe la mode a parasol
sommeillez, sommeillez,

Praying Arm Lane
Well hey I been down that a way
With a dream on my arm
Yet me an my love we could not stay
We heard voices of children
An by little hands were led astray
All the boughs bend for us
All the earth awaits thee
All the stones they will cry out
An evry tongue confess thee
Oh my dream come an take me quickly
fore the struggle take me
Yeah lay me down any way you choose
An let the voices of our children wake me
The boughs they all will bend for us
An all the earth awaits thee
All the stones they will cry out
Yes an evry tongue confess thee
An though the word yes
It falls on deaf ears
It is spoken jus the same

Splinters
Self sent a twister
A tearin after me
Gonna bust my house to splinters yes
An take all thats dear to me
You say you saw it comin yeah
But still you did not flee
I was too weak I couldnt move
Held by growth of a tree
An yes I fell upon that rock
I did not die jus badly broken
An in time my healin it will come yeah
By the words that he has spoken
I fell upon that rock
Who is it now that loves you
Straight in the front door
An crooked out the back yeah
What is it now youre a slave to
On your knees out in your shack
I fell upon that rock yeah
Hes beyond the shadow
