Dove, sit a spell and I'll bend your ear
Take these instructions down well
Go from your home and your family
To the place where the sinners now dwell
Cry out, In hope you won't be found
Do not fail these simple commands
No, not even the stormy seas
Will release you from my hands
You can never run, you can never hide
Dove, I can see you are indisposed
Drawing straws to see who to depose
You can never run, you can never hide
No matter where you go, I'll be right behind
Cry out, in hope I won't be found
Don't fail these simple commands
No, not even the stormy seas
Will ever release you from my hands
Cry Out, In hope I won't be found
Take these instructions down well
Go from your home and your family
To the place where the sinners now dwell
Cry out, In hope you won't be found
Do not fail these simple commands
No, not even the stormy seas
Will release you from my hands
You can never run, you can never hide
Dove, I can see you are indisposed
Drawing straws to see who to depose
You can never run, you can never hide
No matter where you go, I'll be right behind
Cry out, in hope I won't be found
Don't fail these simple commands
No, not even the stormy seas
Will ever release you from my hands
Cry Out, In hope I won't be found
