lyrics

hey little girl
what's the pretty tune
can you teach me
how to whistle songs like you

reverend john
teach me a gospel song
something even I
can sing along

I bet he's on your side
cause I ain't seen him in a while
the lord and I
we don't get along sometime

~
don't you be laughing at me
cause I can only sing one song
that I sing off key
~

is it true I cursed santa
when I swore in church
nana hears me holler, she says
don't cry before you're hurt

it's bachelor weather and
you can't lose what you ain't got
can't get away with a bruise
from a hazy day's gun shot

old saint
what makes you clap your hands?
why don't you give applause
to my one man blues band?
