Well it's four o'clock in the morning

and I'm knocking on your door

She says she's tired of me

Don't want me here no more



She said stop your pissin' and moanin' and groanin'

go sleep outside with them dogs

Now honey let me please explain

cause I didn't mean you no wrong



I didn't mean to hurt you baby

Wouldn't do that to you

She said bite your lip, now, sweet child

You're the bastard son of a thousand blues



Well my Daddy was gone by the day I was born

And my Mama I have never seen

I was born in the back of a black Cadillac

And raised by a Gypsy queen



And as a child I was hell gone wild

Raised in the eye of a storm

By the time I was ten I was doing time again

Cause I knew what that gun was for



Chorus:

No, no, no, I'm the bastard son of a thousand blues

No, no, no, Don't know what I'm going to do

No, no, no, I'm the bastard son of a thousand blues

No, no, no, Tell me, mama, what I'm going to do



Ladies have come and ladies have gone

But there's one I remember quite well

Years have gone past, but her memory lasts

But the story I cannot tell



Well I've lived and I've lied

And I've loved and I've tried

To put my soul to good use



Guess I'm shit out of luck

Cause that name, it just stuck

I'm the bastard son of a thousand blues, dig



Chorus, out
