The Blues Havin' Blues Lyrics

The good lord must have heard my prayers
Because he packed up and disappeared
He took the praise and extravagant odes
And left the sting, I've been dying to knowSomeone should give that old Devil his due
He taught me how to love only you
He taught me how to love only you
I know I owe my good fortune to him'Cause he pulled me out of the trance
That faith had put me inI've been blessed with a broken heart
Since the day I was born
Cleansed in the water
The sons and the daughters
Stripped of the sins we're destined forI've been blessed with a broken heart
Since the day I've been reborn
Down in the water
The sons and the daughters
The kind of death worth living forThe good stranger has seen me grieve
He saw the crooked old heart on my sleeve
He took the note I had handwritten and said

Only sinners become better menSomeone should give that old devil his due
He taught me how to love only you
He taught me how to love only you
Yeah, I owe the love of my woman to himBecause he took her out of the grave
That faith put her inI've been blessed with a broken heart
Since the day I was born
Cleansed in the water
The sons and the daughters
Stripped of the sins we're destined forI've been blessed with a broken heart
Since the day I've been reborn
Down in the water
The sons and the daughters
The kind of death worth living forI can't live without the blues
I can't love without the blues
I can't sleep without the blues
The Devil will take his pay so we're alrightI can't live without the blues
I can't love without the blues
I can't sleep without the blues
The Devil will take his pay so we're alrightBecause he pulled me out the trance
That faith had put me inWell, I've been blessed with a broken heart
Since the day I was born
Cleansed in the water
The sons and the daughters
Stripped of the sins we're destined forI've been blessed with a broken heart
Since the day I've been reborn
Down in the water
The sons and the daughters
The kind of death worth living forAnd I've been blessed with a broken heart
Since the day I was born
Cleansed in the water
The sons and the daughters
Stripped of the sins we're destined forI've been blessed with a broken heart
Since the day I've been reborn
Down in the water
The sons and the daughters
The kind of death worth living for
