Preaching The Blues Lyrics - Fire Of Love - The Gun Club

I was up this morning, blues walking like a man 

I was up this morning, blues walking like a man 

Worried blues, give me your right hand 

And the blues fell mama's child, tore me all upside down 

Blues fell mama's child, tore me all upside down 

Travel on ol' Jeffrey Lee, ya know, can't seem to turn him around 

So, preach the blues 

Preach the blues now 

Blues, is low down shaking chill 

Blues, is low down shaking chill 

You ain't never had them, I don't believe you will 

Blues is an achin' old heart disease 

Blues is an achin' old heart disease 

It's like consumption, baby, killing me by degrees 

So, preach the blues 

Preach the blues now 

I had religion, Lord on this very day 

I had religion, Lord on this very day 

But the womens and the whiskey, they would not let me pray 

Gonna get me religion, gonna join the Baptist church 

Gonna get me religion, gonna join the Baptist church 

Gonna be a Baptist preacher, so I don't have to work
