hey mister with your iron feet yeah

never waver from your path

you think you got a way with somethin' boy

well see his hand an' feel his staff

hey you got a way with words alright yeah

an' quite a way with the ladies

your thoughts are troubled

as you hang a left

no there ain't no maybes



come an' sing me down

give my conscience a poundin'

come an' shake my ground lord

with the sound of heaven's houndin'



you're thinkin' when this is all over

we'll all sit back an' laugh

well i don't think so friend 'cause

i done the math

and i ain't lookin' to gain any honor

no, no not among you thieves

i'll be right beside you though

in judgement on my knees



come an' sing me down

give my conscience a poundin'

come an' shake my ground lord

with the sound of heaven's houndin'



now here you come a draggin'

jus' couldn't help yourself

puttin' on your poor mouth an'

takin' from his wealth

o you come up proper

you ride a faithless steed

took you down the wrong road

ye' in word an' in deed



come an' sing us down

give our conscience a poundin'

come an' shake our ground lord

with the sound of heaven's houndin'



come an' take our crowns lord

give our conscience a poundin'

come an' take our crown lord

with the sound of heaven's houndin
