Intro: (Am G F Am)

 Am
I went down
                   G
To the house of the crosses
         F
I saw my momma
           Am
Fall on her knees
           Am
Well she told me
               G
This man's your father
              F
He killed two people
           Am
And raped me

(Am G F Am)
She took her trumpet
She held it in her hand
She yelled out:
"He's a evil man"
She said to me
"I don't know how people could be, I don't know how people could be so evil", she said to me

(Am G F Am)
Now I work
In the house of the crosses
I watch that evil, that evil man every day
I'm a guard
In the house of the crosses
I watch that man, every day

(Am G F Am)
Every day, I run to the river,
I try to wash,
Wash away my pain,
Every day, I run to the river
I try to wash,
Wash away my pain
Wash away...
