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