1
God said don't give me your
2
Tin horn prayers
3
Don't buy roses off the street down there
4
Took it all and took the dirt road home
5
Dreaming of Jenny with the light brown hair
6
Night is falling like a bloody axe
7
Lies and rumors and the wind at my back
8
Hand on the wheel gravel on the road
9
Will the pawn shop sell me back what I sold
10
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
11
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
12
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
13
Down to the pond
14
Birds cry warning from a hidden branch
15
Carving out a future with a gun and an axe
16
I'm way beyond the gavel and the laws of man
17
Still living in the palm of the grace of your hand
18
The worlds not easy the blind man said
19
Turns on nothing but money and dread
20
Dogs been scratching at the door all night
21
Long neck birds flying out of the moon light
22
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
23
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
24
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
25
Down to the pond
26
Smack dab in the middle of a dirty lie
27
The star spangled glitter of his one good eye
28
Everybody knows that the game was rigged
29
Justice wears suspenders and a powdered wig
30
Dark town alleys been hiding you
31
Long bell tolling is your waterloo
32
Oh baby what can you do
33
Does the light of god blind you
34
Or lead the way home for you?
35
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
36
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
37
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
38
Down to the pond
39
God all mighty for righteousness sake
40
Humiliation of our fallen state
41
Written in the book of tubold Cain
42
A long black over coat will show no stain
43
Feel the heat and the burn on your back
44
The rip and the moan and the stretch of the rack
45
All my belongings in a flour sack
46
Will the place I come from
47
Take me back
48
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
49
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
50
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
51
Down to the pond
52
They'll hang me in the morning on a scaffold yea big
53
To dance upon nothing to the tyborn jig
54
Treats you like a puppet when your under its spell
55
Oh the heart is heaven
56
But the mind is hell
57
Jesus of Nazareth told Mike of the weeds
58
I's born at this time for a reason you see
59
When I'm dead I'll be dead a long time
60
But the wines so pleasing and so sublime
61
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
62
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
63
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
64
Down to the pond
65
Kissed my sweetheart by the chinaball tree
66
Everything I done is between God and me
67
Only he will judge how my time was spent
68
29 days of sinning and 40 to repent
69
The horse is steady but the horse is blind
70
Wicked are the branches on the tree of mankind
71
The roots grow upwared and the branches grow down
72
Its much too late to throw the dice again I've found
73
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
74
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
75
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
76
Down to the pond
77
I'm gonna wash them [2x]
78
I'm gonna wash the sins of my Father
79
I'm gonna wash the sins of my Mother
80
I'm gonna wash the sins of my Brother
81
Till the water runs clear [2x]
