the blues havin' blues

Singer:damned things, the

the good lord must have heard my prayers

because he packed up and disappeared

he took the praise and extravagant odes

and left the sting i've been dying to know

someone should give that old devil his due

he taught me how to love only you

(he taught me how to love only you

i know i owe my good fortune to him

cause he pulled me out of the trance now

baby

that faith had put me in

i've been blessed with a broken heart since the day i was born

cleansed in the water

the sons and the daughters

stripped of the sins we're destined for

i've been blessed with a broken heart since i've been reborn

down in the water

the sons and the daughters

the kind of death worth living for

the good stranger has seen me grieve

he saw the crooked old heart on my sleeve

he took the note i had handwritten and said

only sinners become better men"
