Birth Of The Blues Paroles

a boot on his head as he laid on the ground
but he didn't die
he got up
and start walking down that road

and the man was a black man
the man was a proud black man
try-y-ing to go home
and the man is hurt
his bloods on the ground
he needs some help
but he's got no-one around

so he digs down to his soul
and sings a song that goes a little somethin' like this

[...]

and the devil was there
the devil was there
and I can guarantee you brothers and sisters
within a hundred and ten percent accuracy baby
that jesus was walking with the black man that day
that's the birth of the blue-es
