Bessie Smith - Blue Spirit Blues lyrics
Your rating:
Had a dream last night That I was dead Had a dream last night That I was dead Evil spirits All around my bed The devil came And grabbed my hand The devil came And grabbed my hand Took me way down To that red hot land Mean blues spirits Stuck their forks in me Mean blues spirits Stuck their forks in me Made me moan And groan in misery Fairies and dragons Spitting out blue flames Fairies and dragons Spitting out blue flames Showing their teeth For they was glad I came Demons with their eyelash Dripping blood Demons with their eyelash Dripping blood Dragging sinners To their brimstone flood "This is hell", I cried Cried with all my might "This is hell", I cried Cried with all my might Oh, my soul I can't bear the sight Started running 'Cause it is my cup Started running 'Cause it is my cup Run so fast Till someone woke me up
