The Lion and the Bear ft. the Coal Biters Lyrics

Sam Davis lost his sister

To a band of Shawnee Indians

She was taken in her youth

And in the flower of her innocence

So Sam packed up his saddle bags

And loaded up his gun

He told his worried mother

I've got to find her

And Mama

Don't you waste your tears on me

I am in the mighty arms

Of one who sets the captives free

And he will guide my steps

And keep my feet from stumbling

O Mama you will see

Before you know it I'll be home

My sister by my side

The light of your eyes

Will be back in your arms

Mama don't you cry

Like David with the lion and the bear

These Philistines will fall

Just like anyone who dares

Who dares stand before the Lord

And harm those for whom he cares

O Mama you will see

Before you know it I'll be home

My sister by my side

The light of your eyes

Will be back in your arms

Mama don't you cry

He trains my hands for battle

And my fingers to fight

He is my strength and my shield

And my fortress on high

In whom I trust

Mama don't you cry

We'll be home before you know

And when the daylight wanes

Don't you let your thoughts grow dark

Just say a prayer that I'll be strong

And I won't have to journey far

And the eye that's on the sparrow

It will also watch for me

O Mama you will see

Mama you will see

Before you know it I'll be home

My sister by my side

The light of your eyes

Will be back in your arms

Mama don't you cry
