[05:04.00]Son - Cotton Blues
[05:04.00]
[05:04.00]Got the king cotton blues, that I can't deny
[05:04.00]I've always been in trouble, but, I never did know why
[05:04.00]Some say it's my attitude, others said my luck
[05:04.00]Those that said my just deserts can take a flying f**k
[05:04.00]
[05:04.00]Got the king cotton blues, right down to my core
[05:04.00]I can take the licking, boys, stand up and ask for more
[05:04.00]It ain't because of courage, on account of being brave
[05:04.00]I never saw much reason to avoid an early grave
[05:04.00]
[Chorus]
[05:04.00]King cotton blues boys, be it understood
[05:04.00]Shotgun is too merciful, hanging is too good
[05:04.00]Drowning's too uncertain, poison is too slow
[05:04.00]To snuff a worthless widow's son whose time has come to go
[05:04.00]
[05:04.00]Got the king cotton blues, reason to complain
[05:04.00]All the local prostitutes, spit upon my name
[05:04.00]I take out my handkerchief, and dust that sh*t away
[05:04.00]Revenge don't bring relief, boys, no matter what they say
[05:04.00]
[05:04.00]Got the king cotton blues, price upon my head
[05:04.00]A thousand bucks alive, and double if I'm dead
[05:04.00]They don't want to have to feed me, they know my appetite
[05:04.00]Let's head down to the bar afar, and pick another fight
[05:04.00]
[Chorus]
[05:04.00]
[05:04.00]Got the king cotton blues when sh*t hits the fan
[05:04.00]No shame to duck, boys, any chance you can
[05:04.00]Take your absolution, at the whorehouse down the block
[05:04.00]For those who disavow you, can wind the devil's clock
[05:04.00]
[05:04.00]Got the king cotton blues, every dog knows the tune
[05:04.00]Every cat has a version, beneath the brightful moon
[05:04.00]Take your revolution, and stick it upper class
[05:04.00]Be kind to one another, and dip your lights when you pass
[05:04.00]
[Chorus]
[05:04.00]
[05:04.00]Got the king cotton blues, that's all I got to say
[05:04.00]They done locked up the keys, and threw the house away
[05:04.00]I'm just buying my time until they pop my red balloon
[05:04.00]Feed me to the tigers, throw my leg across the moon
[05:04.00]
[Chorus]
