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
Oughta be praying all on that day
