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
Oh, Lord, have mercy
Look out!
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
