Otis Taylor - House of the Crosses [With Lyrics, HQ ]

Artist: Otis Taylor
Album: Truth Is Not Fiction
Year: 2003
Lyrics: 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...
