Words and music by Bob Hartman



Please tell me what makes me feel this way 

I've been down to the bottom and I don't want to stay 

Tell me what can I do 

To get back to You? 



I got the blues 

Those backslidin' blues 



I can see it, I've been on the wrong road 

And I'm too tired to carry such a heavy load 

Satan's marking me now 

I can't take it no more 



I got the blues 

Those backslidin' blues 



Have mercy, take me back once again 

I'll never be perfect and I sure haven't been 

I know that you will 

But you know that until 



I got the blues 

Those blackslidin' blues
