I Seen What I Saw (03:25)
16 Horsepower • Sackcloth 'n' Ashes
I seen ya in your red room laughin'
With your shinin' coffee can
So many wrongs all kinds a goins on
Held my head an ran

But I hid and did a bit more lookin'
Saw ya dancin' on the pine porch creakin'
Mouth open an doors down wide
Here's what was inside
I seen what I saw
An these things I do are wrong, that's all
An these tales I tales i tell are tall

Then I climbed up on the big horse strapin'
Put the spur down to blood
He took off sixteen horses strong
Left me lyin' in mud
An there I sit until the sun's up shinin'
Yes an black stands my ride
Twenty hands high
An watchin' spookeyed
My hands on his side

Black Soul Choir (03:51)
16 Horsepower • Sackcloth 'n' Ashes
Ain't none ever seen the face of his foe no
He ain't made of flesh & bone
He's the one who sits up close beside you
But when he's there you are alone, yeah

Every man is evil, yes, and every man is a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongues sing
In the black soul choir
Every man is evil, yeah, every man a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
In the black soul choir
Oh, your eyes are smiling
Oh, your eyes are smiling

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, boy
He's at your door let him in

Every man is evil, yes, and every man is a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongues sing
In the black soul choir
Every man is evil, yeah, every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
In the black soul choir
Oh, your eyes are smiling
Oh, your eyes are smiling

I will forgive your wrongs
I am Abel
For my own I feel great shame, yes
I would offer up a brick to the back of your head boy
If I was Cain

Every man is evil, yes, and every man is a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongues sing
In the black soul choir
Every man is evil, yeah, every man a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
In the black soul choir
Oh, your eyes are smiling
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Haw (03:24)
16 Horsepower • Sackcloth 'n' Ashes
Don't let your mind do all your walking
Boy you'll stumble every time
That road I seen the devil stalking
Dealin' only with the dyin'

Go let the door hit em
Where my hound dog shoulda bit em
Leave him open, leave em there
I don't care

But baby don't look down
Keep your, keep your arms around me

Then he showed me how he caught ya
Like a fish upon the line
Slow reelin' in he brings you closer
Like a poison he takes his time

Roll over little lady
Back and forth and twice around
You're gonna bleed to get away
There ain't no other way round

But baby don't look down
Keep your, keep your arms around me

Hey, hey little baby
There, there little boy
Where, where little angel
Over here my joy

Hey, hey little baby
There, there little girl
Where, where little angel
Over here my pearl

But baby don't look down
Keep your, keep your arms around me

Scrawled in Sap (02:47)
16 Horsepower • Sackcloth 'n' Ashes
O the sky grey orange
And the walls stained blue
And I laid right down on the golden satin with you
Into sween dark circles of beautiful eyes

I go round
O lord
I go round

Will you tell me once again
Cream white skin
You are my friend
S seen you walkin' and your white hips sway
O girl I will have you no more

To the moan in your voice
Not a charm do you lack
Your skin to touch as a black ravens back
But I cannot go far with these words as they rhyme
As to tell, of the pleasure, your hand in mine

And I pray as I say this song in this way
That your eyes they would close an your head begin to sway
And you'll feel how he heals with his blood on our skin
I am yours lady scrawled and thin

Will you tell me once again
Cream white skin
You are my friend
I seen you walkin' in your husband's way
Girl I will have you more

16 Horsepower • Sackcloth 'n' Ashes
here ain't nothin' that ain't in my way

swingin' from the tree

i got no reason to lie to you
i'm as clean as a hounds tooth
i still love the woman of my youth
the lord on my behalf doth pray
he's with me even in harm's way

Heel on the Shovel (03:12)
16 Horsepower • Sackcloth 'n' Ashes
I'm diggin' you a shallow grave
And to the sun your face I'll raise
I'm diggin' you a shallow grave
One hundred buzzards a-buzzin'

I seen death hangin' from the tallest tree
Eyes closed no lookin' back at me
Yeah, they came and took him in the night
And the one who kissed em was greed

Oh, everyone will see us
And everyone will know
That, boy you reap what you sow
Oh, everyone will see us
And everyone will know
That, boy you reap what you sow

I'm diggin' you a shallow grave
And on your rotten bones I'll raise
Yellow daisies for my true love's hair
One hundred buzzards a-buzzin'

I seen death runnin' from his majesty
Oh, Lord where is the fear in me
In between your praying hands
You hold the skeleton key

Oh, everyone will see us
And everyone will know
That, boy you reap what you sow
Oh, everyone will see us
And everyone will know
That, boy you reap what you sow

I've grown tired, of the words of the single man
Hangin' lifeless on his every word - o man
You don't understand dear man
The little angel held out her hand
Sayin' father, father I love you
O praise jesus I got her

Ok yeah billygoat an we'll play farm
I didn't mean to spirit stiff you
Nor to doy you no harm
You say you've got a bone to pick
Well, there's plenty showin' on me
Come on up yeah bring your temper boy
We'll see, we'll see

Yeah you may be the only one come on son
Bring your blade and your gun
And if i die by your hand
I've gotta home in glory land

Red Neck Reel (02:43)
16 Horsepower • Sackcloth 'n' Ashes
Everybody knows my business in this town
Lips are loose the whole way 'round
Where I go I leave a trail
Hell to heaven don't never fail
Hell to heaven don't never fail

Everybody knows my movement in this town
I chase my tail, yea I'm a fuckin' clown
But to you I dare not speak
My words to you would be worthless an weak
My words to you would be worthless an weak an all

But don't you take no pleasure
I ain't yet kicked the pail

I guess I see you boys later
I saw you see me when I'm down
An my guilty head you we're aimin'
See me in your eyes an I am dead
See me in your eyes an I am dead

But don't you take no pleasure
I ain't yet kicked the pail

Strong Man (04:21)
16 Horsepower • Sackcloth 'n' Ashes
The strong man he will kneel down
Whalst angels strip him of cloak and crown
Through bitter lips come vile breath
He is the last one to confess

There will be no pity for him
We must kill him where he stands
No there will be no mercy for him
Nor for any of his klan

Let there be no hesitation
Get a rope an make it quick
Each last breath come from his mouth
I will beat it out with a stick

Pray boy you've no reservations
The word will be carried out
He is the one who brought down the son
Let there be no doubt

There is power wonder workin' power
In the blood of the lamb
There is power wonder workin' power
In the precious blood of the lamb

He's seated on the right hand
