Praying Man Lyrics - B.b. King

[Featuring: B.B. King] 

 

[Hook:] 

Guess I was on the road 

Didn't know which way to go 

I think I hear a praying man coming 

A praying man coming 

 

Sometimes I couldn't read the signs 

My people done left me behind 

I think I hear a praying man coming 

I think I hear a praying man coming

[Verse 1: Big Krit] 

Stumble along the path, he emerged from the grass 

Stopped at me and asked why so sad 

Perhaps because they had taken what I had 

I'm sure it wasn't much to them but it was all that I could grab 

I was on my way to church, I was running late at first 

But after all this riff raff here, I missed service and it hurts 

But what's worse I'm not sure how long I've been swaying in the breeze 

Tired of talking to the trees and you the first praying man that I've seen 

I [?] lending hand, but I see if you got some time 

I'm glad you looked up because most people pay no mind 

He smiled and said "Son well, I can do you one better" 

He removed a pocket knife and cut me down from my oppressor, forever 

 

[Hook] 

 

[Verse 2: Big Krit] 

Boating along the sea, he emerged from the mist 

Asked me how I got far from the beach 

Cause they stripped me of my pride and put these shackles on my feet 

I was stacked on top of my folk and it was really hard to breathe 

It was a little hard to believe that I had been caught up in this mess 

And some of my own people would sell me to my death 

It was a lot of us on the ride and it was a lot of us that was lost 

But some of us couldn't take it so some of us jumped off 

And I'm really glad you found me on your course 

I been out here for a while and there's no sign of the shore 

He smiled and said "Son well I can do you one better" 

He lended me his hand and picked me up from my oppressor, forever 

 

[Hook] 

 

[Verse 3:] 

Driving along the road 

He asked me what I was running from and where I was trying to go 

"Well I was working in the field and one of my kinfolk just got killed 

And I knew they'd come for me and Lord knows I wanna live 

See I heard there's people free, not that far but far from me 

To be running from these dogs with no shoes up on my feet 

I heard of this railroad that ventures underground 

And takes my kind of people to a place that we can't be found 

And I been wounded for some miles, so I decided to rest my head 

I guess they let me go cause they assumed that I was dead" 

Smiled and said "Son well let me do you one better" 

He offered me a ride and drove me far away from my oppressor, forever
