Lyrics

Crooked Heart Blues

I recall a time when I had to choose,
The hand life dealt me I was bound to lose
Didn't know how the wind would turn,
My candle would no longer burn

Chorus
For a crooked heart's got a crooked tale.
But a crooked heart is too proud to tell

Whosoever cast, the righteous stone,
I hope they never lose their home.
So here's to the rain, the sleet and snow,
Here's to the sun that set too slow

My heart it stopped, and missed a beat,
I missed that bus but I kept my seat
Walked the whole wood for I saw the trees,
That got me up from off of my knees

Chorus
For a crooked heart's got a crooked tale.
But a crooked heart is too proud to tell

Turned my hand to many a thing,
If for supper then, I would sing
Of a life we live, and in love we lose, and
How to beat those crooked heart blues

Chorus
For a crooked heart's got a crooked tale.
But a crooked heart is too proud to tell

No more shake, rattle and roll,
No more way down in the hole,
No more bells to lick their lips,
No more wreaths laid by crypts,

For now I found a many colored heart,
Fell in love right from the start
It's a love that's ours to share,
I know I'm blessed, I know I'm there

Chorus:
No more,.....
Crooked heart blues
