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