( verse one )
You can hide where you want to
You can run where you may
But nothing on earth gonna save you
When the Man come down yo way
( verse two )
All God's children seen you
Dealing with your gun
His right arm is gonna strike you down
For all those things you've done
( chorus )
When the Man come down yo way, Lord
When the Man come down yo way
The devil's gotta get paid
When the Man come down yo way
When the Man come down yo way, Lord
When the Man come down yo way
There's gonna be Hell to pay
When the man come down yo way
( verse three )
You better put your house in order
You better get on the good book train
Don't look to me when you start to fall
When the Man come down yo way
( verse four )
I'm calling to the silk-tongue liar
Following the godless way
To the back-door man with the back-door plan
Headin for the judgment day
( chorus )
When the Man come down yo way, Lord
When the Man come down yo way
The devil's gotta get paid
When the Man come down yo way
When the Man come down yo way, Lord
When the Man come down yo way
There's gonna be Hell to pay
When the Man come down yo way
When the Man come down yo way, Lord
When the Man come down yo way
The devil's gotta get paid
When the Man come down yo way
When the Man come down yo way, Lord
When the Man come down yo way
The devil's gotta get paid
When the Man come down yo way
