Sins Of My Father

God said don't give me your

Tin horn prayers

Don't buy roses off the street down there

Took it all and took the dirt road home

Dreaming of Jenny with the light brown hair

Night is falling like a bloody axe

Lies and rumors and the wind at my back

Hand on the wheel gravel on the road

Will the pawn shop sell me back what I sold

I'm gonna take the sins of my father

I'm gonna take the sins of my mother

I"m gonna take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

Birds cry warning from a hidden branch

Carving out a future with a gun and an axe

I'm way beyond the gavel and the laws of man

Still living in the palm of the grace of your hand

The worlds not easy the blind man said

Turns on nothing but money and dread

Dogs been scratching at the door all nite

Long neck birds flying out of the moon light

I'm gonna take the sins of my father

I'm gonna take the sins of my mother

I"m gonna take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

Smack dab in the middle of a dirty lie

The star spangled glitter of his one good eye

Everybody knows that the game was rigged

Justice wears suspenders and a powdered wig

Dark town alleys been hiding you

Long bell tolling is your waterloo

Oh baby what can you do

Does the light of god blind you

Or lead the way home for you?

I'm gonna take the sins of my father

I'm gonna take the sins of my mother

I"m gonna take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

God all mighty for righteousness sake

Humiliation of our fallen state

Written in the book of tubold Cain

A long black over coat will show no stain

Feel the heat and the burn on your back

The rip and the moan and the stretch of the rack

All my belongings in a flour sack

Will the place I come from

Take me back

I'm gonna take the sins of my father

I'm gonna take the sins of my mother

I"m gonna take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

They'll hang me in the morning on a scaffold yea big

To dance upon nothing to the tyborn jig

Treats you like a puppet when your under its spell

Oh the heart is heaven

But the mind is hell

Jesus of Nazareth told Mike of the weeds

I's born at this time for a reason you see

When I'm dead I'll be dead a long time

But the wines so pleasing and so sublime

I'm gonna take the sins of my father

I'm gonna take the sins of my mother

I"m gonna take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

Kissed my sweetheart by the chinaball tree

Everything I done is between God and me

Only he will judge how my time was spent

29 days of sinning and 40 to repent

The horse is steady but the horse is blind

Wicked are the branches on the tree of mankind

The roots grow upwared and the branches grow down

Its much too late to throw the dice again I've found

I'm gonna take the sins of my father

I'm gonna take the sins of my mother

I"m gonna take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

I'm gonna wash them [2x]

I'm gonna wash the sins of my Father

I'm gonna wash the sins of my Mother

I'm gonna wash the sins of my Brother

Till the water runs clear [2x]
