I Woke Up This Morning
I woke up this morning feeling very strange
I woke up this morning with sin on my mind
The devil invades my dreams time after time
But I've had enough of always doing wrong
I know I'm weak, but I must be strong
For I've been a sinner all my life
I lost my children and my wife
I just couldn't go change my ways
I did wrong with each passing day
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God's within me and you
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God's within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don't wanna sin any more
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don't wanna sin any more
I see wrong doing wherever I go
On the hill up high in the valley below
Darkness like a veil covers this land
What can I do, I'm just a man
Oh help me Lord to do what's right
Remove this veil so I can see the light
I've been blind please give me sight
So I can see in the day and night
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God's within me and you
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God's within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don't wanna sin any more
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don't wanna sin any more
The man in a black coat asked me for a prayer
He had barbed wire teeth and fire in his hair
I said 'My pockets are empty, I've nothing to give'
He said 'Look in your soul, it's where God lives'
Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lordy be
Shine a light on me and set me free
Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lordy be
Shine a light on me and set me free
Make me pure, make me clean
Make me see you in my dreams
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God's within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don't wanna sin any more
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God's within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don't wanna sin any more
I'm gonna sing 'Hallelujah'
I'm gonna sing 'Hallelujah'
Brothers and sisters
