Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please, come down flyin' low for me
One time, I trusted a stranger
'Cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticin' me
Tho' there was somethin' wrong
But, when I turned, he was gone
Blindin' me, his song remains remindin' me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please, come down flyin' low for me
He wages war with the devil
A pistol by his side
And tho' he chases him out windows
And won't give him a place to hide
He keeps his door open wide
Fightin' him, he lights a lamp invitin' him
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin' low for me
I hear the thunder come rumblin'
The light never looked so dim
I see the junction git nearer
And danger is in the wind
And either road's lookin' grim
Hidin' me, I flee, desire dividin' me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please, come down flyin' low for me
One time I trusted a stranger
'Cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticin' me
Tho' there was somethin' wrong
But, when I turned, he was gone
Blindin' me, his song remains remindin' me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
