Desperate Blues

Lyrics

[Verse] There's something wrong inside my head Yeah, lately all I see is red I dream all night 'bout guns and knives 'Bout taking certain parties' lives Most every night in slumber deep I kill sweet papa in my sleep Folks say my mind's got a disease But they can call it what they please [Chorus] It's them desperate blues The desperate blues I'm nervous as I can be Looks like love done made a fool of me If my temper I lose You'll read in the news [Well, last night the police?] captain sent me somewhere, Lord Ain't them desperate blues [Bridge] Nowadays on the level Oh my, it's [?] Get full of the devil Cryin' "I'm finally free" I'm just lately beginning To find new ways of sinning, sinning Thrills me, fills me, almost kills me With a wild, burning delight [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] It's them desperate blues The desperate blues I'm nervous as I can be Looks like love done made a fool of me If my temper I lose You'll read in the news [Well, last night the police?] captain sent me somewhere, Lord Ain't them desperate blues
