Deceitful Friend Blues Lyrics


When this world is so crooked
I just don't know what to do
When this world is so crooked
I just don't know what to doAnd if you try to hold up yo' hands
Everybody will be down on youI got some friends who are deceitful
And they don't mean me no good
I got some friends who are deceitful
And they don't mean me no goodWell, they would set a fire to me
And burn me up if they couldWell, I don't bother, nobody
Wonder why they pick at poor me?
I don't bother, nobody
Wonder why they pick at poor me?Look like they'd rather see my body
Drifting in the deep blue seaThey have ate at my table
Even slept in my bed
They have ate at my table, woo
They have even slept in my bedAnd they were jealous and deceitful
Wishin' that I was deadSo I ain't-a callin' no names
So I have no blame to bear

So I ain't-a callin' no names
So I have no blame to bearBut I know 'em when I see 'em
You can bet your life on that

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
