Not Since He Left His Skin



Black Soul Choir / Phyllis Ann - 16 Horsepower

No man ever seen the face of his foe no
He ain't made of flesh and bone
He's the one who sits up close beside you
And when he's there you are alone

Every man is evil yes and every man is a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue sing
In the black soul choir

Every man is evil yes and every man is a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue sing
In the black soul choir

O He rides my way
O He rides my way

Yes and no man ever seen the face of my lord no
Not since he left his skin
He's the one you keep cold on the outside girl
He's at your door let him in

Every man is evil yes and every man is a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue sing
In the black soul choir

Every man is evil yes and every man is a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue sing
In the black soul choir

O He rides my way
O He rides my way

Come now quick across the water child
She gave me her hand Phyllis Ann
Star shine on the face of your daughter
To the doubtful he will show his hand

For me she painted two pictures
One of wood and one of wire
I am strong I am weak
Just drawn to the fire
My love she sings of a broken door handle
My love she cruel like a live child
I call out in an old time holler
For I am afraid of your dark

I will forgive your wrongs
He makes me Able
An for my own I feel great shame
I would offer up a brick to the back of your head boy
If I were Cain

Every man is evil yes and every man is a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue sing
In the black soul choir

Every man is evil yes and every man is a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue sing
In the black soul choir

O He rides my way
O He rides my way
