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