about

Oh Sinner People is adaptation of a very powerful Song 'Sinnerman' that I first heard sung by the Legendary Nina Simone. I believed it to be a Traditional Gospel Song but while researching I found the Lester Baxter Recording on waltervdbus YouTube Channel and this explanation for its origin....

"First recording by Les Baxter Orchestra featuring Will Holt & Chorus of 'Sinner Man' (Baxter/Holt), possibly better known through later versions by The Weavers (1959), Nina Simone (1964) and Peter Tosh (1966/1971/1977), among many others. The song is clearly adapted from the 1954 gospel tune 'On Judgement Day' (Peacock 1743) by The Sensational Nightingales. (Thanks to Minstrelcraft for the tip)."

Wow! What a Journey and all the People who lived through those Centuries running, hiding and dying...Bless....

lyrics

Where are you running to?
Where ya running to?
Where are you running to?

Oh Sinner People, where you Running to?
Oh Sinner People, where are you Running to?

We’ll Run to the Rock, The Rock will Hide Us
But The Rock Can’t Hide You, No it can’t hide you

BUT The Lord Said Run to the Devil
The Lord Said Run to the Devil
Run to the Devil All….. on that day…

WE Ran to the Devil, The Devil was waiting
The Devil Said Come On In Now
SO We…. Ran Away…………!
“POWER… POWER……. OooooOOOO !
