Preaching the Blues |
| I was up this morning, blues walking like a man |
| I was up this morning, blues walking like a man |
| Worried blues, give me your right hand |
| And the blues fell mama’s child, tore me all upside down |
| Blues fell mama’s child, tore me all upside down |
| Travel on ol' Jeffrey Lee, ya know, can’t seem to turn him around |
| So, Preach the Blues |
| Preach the Blues now |
| Blues, is low down shaking chill |
| Blues, is low down shaking chill |
| You ain’t never had them, I don’t believe you will |
| Blues is an achin' old heart disease |
| Blues is an achin' old heart disease |
| It’s like consumption, baby, killing me by degrees |
| So, Preach the Blues |
| Preach the Blues now |
| I had religion, Lord on this very day |
| I had religion, Lord on this very day |
| But, the women and the whiskey, they would not let me pray |
| Gonna get me religion, gonna join the Baptist church |
| Gonna get me religion, gonna join the Baptist church |
| Gonna be a Baptist preacher, so I don’t have to work |
