**************************************
Why is it that these blues keep hounding me?
All I want is a life that’s free of misery.
I’m down here on my knees
And I’m begging at you please
Lord, take these blues away from me.
I try to be a good man, but the devil always seems to win.
I chase him from my life again, and again, and again, and again.
I’m down here on my knees
And I’m begging at you please
Lord, take these blues away from me.
In this life a man can only take so much.
Waiting for that cold and icy touch
When they lay you in that grave,
be you master, or be you slave
You won’t have to beg…
Lord, take these blues away from me.
This is one of my favorite blues songs that I wrote. I like the chord changes, I like the words, I like it all!
