Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whisky bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman singing a song
A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5-9 beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cos that long cool woman had it all
I saw her heading to the table Well a tall walking big black cat When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at Well then suddenly we heard a siren And everybody started to run Jumping out of doors and tables Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left hand And she was holding my right Well I told her don't get scared 'Cos you're gonna be spared Well I'm gonna be forgiven If I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5-9 beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cos that long cool woman had it all
(Sill) Sweet silver angels over the sea please come down flying low for me
One time I trusted a stranger 'cause I heard his sweet song And it was gently enticing me though there was something wrong When I turned he was gone
Blinding me his song remains reminding me he's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker
chorus
He wages war with the devil a pistol by his side And though he chases him out my window and won't give him a place to hide He keeps his door open wide Fighting him he lights a lamp inviting him He's a bandit and a heartbreaker oh but Jesus was a crossmaker
chorus
I hear the thunder come rumbling the light never looked so dim I see the junction get nearer and danger's in the wind and either road's looking grim
Hiding me I flee desire's dividing me He's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker Yeah but Jesus was a crossmaker
