Lyrics

WHY - OH - WHY ME BLUES
------------------------
Cole Crawford Hurst & Nick Coleman
=========================================

I'm a nine dollar finger
In a two dollar pocket,
I had a guitar
But the devil made me hock it,

I say why,
Oh - why it gotta be this way,
Said my woman's fed up -
Don't know why it's gotta be this way.

I've been working all week
Go to cash my check,
Said the devil takes his cut
And there aint much left,

Tell me why,
Oh - why it gotta be this way,
Say a woman leave her man,
Just for making the some mistakes,

I get kinda desperate
See the darkness coming on,
I lost my woman - lost my job
Now the daylight's gone,

Saying why,
Oh- why it's gotta be this way,
When it rains it pours,
Don't know how much more I can take,

You can hide all the bourbon -
Hide all the scotch,
Hide 'em on the top shelf -
As long as I can watch,

Tell me why,
Oh - why you got to be so mean,
Man be having them nightmares,
Bout the woman of his dreams,

Now turkey on the table -
Chicken out to roost,
I'll be dead as a duck -
When they cook my goose,

Tell me why,
Oh - why - oh - why - oh - why,
See the devil come a'knocking,
So long fore a good man dies.
See the devil come a'knocking,
So long fore a good man dies.

Now turkey on the table -
Chicken out to roost,
I'll be dead as a duck -
When they cook my goose,

Tell me why,
Oh - why - oh - why - oh - why,
See the devil come a'knocking,
So long fore a good man dies.
See the devil come a'knocking,
So long fore a good man dies.

This song has that nice home spun sound. It was wild listening to your conversion. Neat song though. Sounds like you guys were having a good time and that is what it's all about. I loved it. Keep playing.
