Nina Simone - Sinnerman lyrics

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, please hide me
I run to the Rock, please hide me, Lord
All on that day

But the rock cried out, I can't hide you
The Rock cried out, I can't hide you
The Rock cried out
I ain't gonna hide you guy all on that day

I said, "Rock, what's a matter with you
Rock?" "Don't you see I need you, Rock?"
Lord, Lord, Lord all on that day

So I run to the river, it was bleeding
I run to the sea, it was bleeding
I run to the sea, it was bleeding
All on that day

So I run to the river, it was boiling
I run to the sea, it was boiling
I run to the sea, it was boiling
All on that day

So I run to the Lord, please hide 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
Ran to the devil, he was waiting
All on that day i cried, power
(Power to the Lord) power
(Power to the Lord) power
(Power to the Lord) power

Bring down (Power to the Lord)
Bring down (Power to the Lord)
Bring down (Power to the Lord)
Bring down (Power to the Lord)

Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Well I run to the river, it was boiling
I run to the sea, it was boiling
I run to the sea, 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, "Child, where were you
When you ought a been praying?"
I said, "Lord, Lord, hear me praying"
Lord, Lord, hear me praying
Lord, Lord, hear me praying" all on that day

Sinnerman you ought a be praying
Ought a be praying, Sinnerman
Ought a be praying all on that day

I cried, power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)

Go down (Power to the Lord)
Go down (Power to the Lord)
Go down (Power to the Lord)

Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)
Power (Power to the Lord)

Oh woh, power, power, Lord don't you knew
Don't you know, I need you Lord?
Don't you know that, I need you?
Don't you know that, I need you?
Power, power, power Lord
