    God said don't give me your tin horn prayers
    And don't buy roses from the street down there
    Took it all and took the dirt road home
    Dreaming of Jenny with the light brown hair
    Night is falling like a bloody axe
    Lies and rumours and the wind at my back
    Hand on the wheel, Gravel on the road
    Will the pawn shop sell me back what I sold

   I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
   I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond

    Birds cry a warning from a hidden branch
    Carving out a future with a gun and an axe
    I'm way beyond the gavel and the laws of man
    Still living in the palm of the grace of your hand
    The world's not easy the blind man said
    Turns on nothing but money and dread
    Dogs been scratching at the door all night
    Long necked birds flying out of the moonlight

   I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
   I'm gonna take the sins of my brother,  Down to the pond, Down to the pond

    Smack dab in the middle of a dirty lie
    The star spangled glitter of his one good eye
    Everybody knows that the game was rigged
    Justice wears suspenders and a powdered wig
    Dark town alleys been hiding you
    Long bell tolling is your Waterloo
    Oh baby what can you do
    Does the light of God blind you,   Or lead the way home for you

   I'm gonna take the sins of my Father,  I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
   I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to  the pond

   INST: AS VERSE

   I'm gonna take the sins of my Father,  I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
   I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to  the pond

    God almighty for righteousness sake
    Humilation of our fallen state
    Written in the Book of Tubal Cain
    A long black coat will show no stain
    Feel the heat and the burn on your back
    The rip and the moan, The stretch of the rack
    All my belongings in a flour sack
    Will the place I come from take me back

 I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
 I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to the pond

    They'll hang me in the morning on a scaffold yea big
    To dance upon nothing to the Tyburn jig
    Treats you like a puppet when you're under it's spell
    Oh the heart is Heaven,  But the mind is Hell
    Jesus of Nazareth told Mike of the weeds
    I's born at this time for a reason you see
    When I'm dead I'll be dead a long time
    But the wines so pleasing and so sublime

 I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
 I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to the pond

    Kissed my sweetheart by the chinaball tree
    Everything I done is between God and me
    Only he will judge how my time was spent
    Twentynine days of sinning and forty to repent
    The horse is steady but the horse is blind
    Wicked are the branches on the tree of mankind
    The roots grow upward and the branches grow down
    It's much too late to throw the dice again I've found

 I'm gonna take the sins of my Father,  I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
 I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond

    I'm gonna wash them,     I'm gonna wash them
    I'm gonna wash the sins of my Father
    I'm gonna wash the sins of my Mother
    I'm gonna wash the sins of my brother
    Till the water runs clear,    Till the water runs clear
    Till the water runs clear,    Till the water runs clear
