Coffin Blues Lyrics - Singles - Jerry Leger

Coffin blues all around my head 

Coffin blues, she's cherry red 

I can't see you looking down at me 

Had one problem, now I've got me four 

The angel of death breaks down our front door 

She wants me to go with her so freely 

With the book pressed to my heart 

And the kettle on the stove 

This earth will have my body but who will get my soul 

Is it she with the light on her shoulders? 

She tells me where we're going as if it's a dare 

What she doesn't know is that I've been everywhere 

But my eyes can be blue deceivers 

My head is on fire, so is this tomb 

The telephone is ringing, my words fill the room 

Why did you stop loving the ones who loved you? 

I know there can't always be a rainbow 

I know I wasn't always so good 

But I thought I had time as a friend 

In this silly old world 

And then she comes through my window 

Makes me feel like a child 

Says "beyond here, they'll give you another try" 

I'm losing my mind, I gotta tell you dear 

Give me a bottle, give me one more year 

I hear the drums pound, goodbye my sweet one
