Postcards from Hell (Live) - The Wood Brothers[00:00:00]
I know a man who sings the blues[00:00:27]
Yeah he plays just what he feels[00:00:32]
Keeps a letter in the pocket of his coat[00:00:36]
But he never breaks the seal[00:00:40]
Set up in a bar room corner[00:00:54]
Playing for tips and beer[00:00:59]
People carrying on and drinking[00:01:04]
You gotta strain to hear[00:01:08]
I've seen him playing some old cheap guitar[00:01:37]
But he could play on pots and pans[00:01:41]
You never heard a soul so pure and true[00:01:46]
It's flowing right out of his hands[00:01:51]
He can sing sweet as a choir girl[00:01:56]
Or he can sing a house on fire[00:02:00]
I've seen him calling up the angels[00:02:05]
And use a breeze for a telephone wire[00:02:09]
And if you ask him[00:02:15]
How he sings his blues so well[00:02:17]
He says[00:02:21]
I got a soul that I won't sell[00:02:21]
I got a soul that I won't sell[00:02:24]
I got a soul that I won't sell[00:02:26]
And I don't read postcards from hell[00:02:29]
Says he came from down in Texas[00:02:52]
Playing out since he's fifteen[00:02:57]
You can hear a little Chicago[00:03:01]
And a lot of new Orleans[00:03:06]
He can take you on a freight train[00:03:10]
He can take you down the alley[00:03:15]
He can take you to the church[00:03:19]
He can walk you through the valley[00:03:24]
And if you ask him[00:03:29]
How he sings his blues so well[00:03:31]
He says[00:03:35]
I got a soul that I won't sell[00:03:35]
I got a soul that I won't sell[00:03:38]
I got a soul that I won't sell[00:03:40]
And I don't read postcards from hell[00:03:43]
I've seen him sleeping in a doorway[00:06:49]
Maybe living outside[00:06:55]
On his back just like a cockroach[00:07:00]
But he ain't waiting to die[00:07:06]
And if you ask him[00:07:12]
How he sings his blues so well[00:07:14]
He says[00:07:18]
I got a soul that I won't sell[00:07:18]
I got a soul that I won't sell[00:07:21]
I got a soul that I won't sell[00:07:24]
I got a soul that I won't sell[00:07:26]
How he sings his blues so well[00:07:28]
And I don't read postcards from hell[00:07:31]
