Sweet silver angels over the sea Please come down flyin’ low for me One time I trusted a stranger 'Cuz 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 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 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
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 He’s a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker Sweet silver angels over the sea Please come down flyin’ low for me One time I trusted a stranger 'Cuz 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 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
