Sinnerman
Nina Simone
Sinnerman (Original Version)
Oh, sinnerman where you gonna run to
Sinnerman where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run to
All on that day
Well I run to the rock
Please hide me I run to the rock (x2)
Please hide me Lord
All on that day
Well the rock cried out
I can’t hide you, the rock cried out (x2)
I ain’t gonna hide you god
All on that day
I said rock : what’s a matter with you rock
Don’t you see I need you rock
Don’t let down
All on that day
So I run to the river
It was bleeding I run to the sea (x2)
It was bleeding all on that day
So I run to the river it was boiling
I run to the sea it was boiling (x2)
All on that day
So I run to the Lord
Please help me Lord
Don’t you see me praying
Don’t you see me down here praying
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 waiting
I ran to the devil he was waiting (x2)
All on that day
Oh yeah,…
Oh I run to the river
It was boiling I run to the sea (x2)
It was boiling 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 : God, where were you?
When you are old and praying
Lord, Lord, hear me praying (x3)
All on that day
Sinnerman you oughta be praying
Oughta be praying sinnerman
