AMOS LEE - Street Corner Preacher lyrics

rate me

He got a new mercy, a new grace

Street corner preacher with the angry face

He got 2 years off for good behavior

Back in the neighborhood working for the savior

That's two old ladies and a junkie now, now

He can see for sure that his work is cut out

Though he walks through the shadows he won't fear his neighbor

Back in the neighborhood working for the savior

Bau bau, put it on back

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau, put it ooh bop

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau, put it ooh bop

Ah put it in

Ah, bau bau, ya ya

Well, he understands the need for living it large

But it's hard to get a job with a felony charge

Now he's working in a hospital washing dishes

Walking through the fields of the lost inhibitions

There is death everywhere, the new benediction

To save the liver from awaking death is his conviction

The eyes of man, well he seeks no favor

Back in the neighborhood working for the savior

But there's a whole lotta trouble all around

Every night the same old siren sound

There's a whole lotta trouble all around

Children, soldiers in this battle ground

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau, put 'em bop

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau, put 'em bop

Ah put it in

A bau bau, ya ya

Well, a new sun and a second chance

He unbolts the door and hops over the fence

Young woman with a baby that her daddy gave her

Back in the neighborhood working for the savior

But all around the war rages on

Burnt out houses with the front door gone

Well, his faith is his fountain, his love is his labor

Back in the neighborhood working for the savior

Whoa, yeah, ahh

Bau, bau, put it on back

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau, put it ooh bop

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau, put it ooh bop

Ah put it in

Ah, bau bau, ya ya

He got a new mercy, a new grace

Street corner preacher with the angry face

He got 2 years off for good behavior

Back in the neighborhood working for the savior
