Eric Bibb - With My Maker

 

 

I am the preacher shoutin out the news

I am the juke stomper playin the blues

I am the Holy Roller givin Jesus my cares

I am the candy man pushin my wares

I am the cowboy brandin my steers

I am the Cherokee brave on the Trail Of Tears

I am the master whip in my hand

I am the slave from a distant land

After all is said an done with my Maker I am One.

 

I am the Okie on a dusty road

I am the banker with the tailor-made clothes

I am the hobo in a cold boxcar

I am the railroad baron with the long cigar

I am the ghetto brother bout to lose his lease

I am the landlord cuttin of the heat

I am the prisoner playin cards

I am the warden lokkin out on the yard

After all is said an done with my Maker I am One.

 

I am the doctor savin the sick

I am the junkie gravin a fix

I am the homeless child on streets so mean

I am the movie star on the silver screen

I am the champion at the finish line

I am the beggar holdin up the sign

I am the rookie tryin to make the Hall f Fame

I am the gangster fixin' the game

After all is said an done with my Maker I am One.

    It´s an expression of faith and Christian moral as old gospel and bluesmen did.
