Sick Man Blues Lyrics - Bobby Long

The darkness hides your eyes, though it's not for me to tell, 

you never treat me kind, you think that I'm unwell, 

it's such a shame, it's a shame. 

You tried to give me up and flirted with my time, 

I guess you broke the promise you made somewhere down the line, 

oh you're a struggle, 

oh you're a struggle. 

You paid for all my pills that left me in the past 

you were a good girl honey, 

you just couldn't make it last, 

And your love carries the rhinestone of a plague 

so bear in mind the lives you could save, 

'Cause I'm bound to walk the darkness again, 

I know I'm not that easy to live with day to day 

If you painted your own picture then I'd let you have your say, 

yes I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner 

But my love it sits untainted to the rigours of your stare, 

there ain't anybody like you and the fairness of your hair, 

leaves me stranded, 

it leaves me stranded, 

This life it's too long, too long for me to keep, 

You should bear that in mind and try the pain you reap. 

Your love carries the rhinestone of a plague 

so bear in mind the lives that you could save, 

I'm bound to walk the darkness again.
