Preaching The Blues Lyrics

I was up this mornin', blues walkin' like a man
I was up this mornin', blues walkin' like a man
Worried blues, give me your right handAh, 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 aroundSo preach the blues
Preach the blues nowBlues is low down shaking chill
Blues is low down shaking chill
You ain't never had them
I don't believe you willBlues is an achin' old heart disease
Blues is an achin' old heart disease
It's like consumption, baby
Killin' me by degreesSo preach the blues
Preach the blues nowI had religion, Lord, this day, very day
I had religion, Lord, this very day
But the womens and the whiskey
They would not let me prayGonna 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 workAnd preach the blues
And preach the blues now

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Rory Block (born as 'Aurora Block', November 6, 1949) is an American female blues guitarist and singer, a notable exponent of the country blues style. Rory Block was born in Princeton, New Jersey and grew up in Manhattan. Her father, Allan Block, ran a sandal shop in Greenwich Village in the 1960s, and the constant presence of members of the Greenwich Village folk music scene made an impression on the young girl, who studied classical guitar. Around age 14, she began to be fascinated by old Mississippi Delta blues, listening to old albums, transcribing them, and learning to play the songs.
