Oh sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Where you gonna run to?
All along dem day
Well, I run to the rock, please hide me!
I run to the rock, please hide me
I run to the rock, please hide me, Lord

But the rock cried out, "I can't hide you!"
The rock cried out, "I can't hide you!
The rock cried out, "I ain't gonna hide you, guy!"
All along dem day
I said, "Rock, what's a matter with you rock?
Don't you see I need you, rock?"

So I run to the river, it was bleedin'
I run to the sea, it was bleedin'
I run to the sea, it was bleedin'
All along dem day
So I run to the river, it was boilin'

So I run to the Lord, please hide me Lord
Don't you see me prayin'?
Don't you see me down here prayin'?
But the Lord said, "Go to the Devil."
The Lord said, "Go to the Devil."
He said, "Go to the Devil."
All along dem day
So I ran to the Devil, he was waitin'

Ran to the Devil, he was waitin'
All on that day
