Book of blues

have you heard the news
what i read today in my book of blues
no mans leavin this earth till hes paid his dues
have you heard the news
what i read today in my book of blues

have you heard the news
what i read to day in my book of blues
hard enough to stomach let alone swallow
if heaven dont come then hell wont follow
have you heard the news
what i read today in my book of blues

have you heard the news
what i read today in my book of blues
cant nobody decide which lord jesus is boss
lost my soul to the devil in a game of ring toss
have you heard the news
what i read today in my book of blues

They gave old bobby guff
cuz he sold his sold his soul to the devil
They say hes boilin down in hell
like an old tea kettle
but dont be so quit to judge
you know youd do the same
you sad sacks live for wine women and fame

and the legend of jimi sure came to a sad end
chokin on his chunks prolly gaspin out for a friend
so sad he didnt go peaceful like the songs that he sung
i wonder if he still tasted nickel on his tongue

and johnny had it all the snarl and the strut
but new yorks a mean city and johnny needed a crutch
the dolls were doin fine
Heartbreakers headed for fame
till johnny boiled it in a spoon and shot it into his vein

Save the date for someone else.
