DAVID SANG THE BLUES
(J.Hager/D.Shipler)


DAVID SANG THE BLUES yeah DAVID SANG THE BLUES killed a lion and a bear removed goliath from his hair but he didn't have time to snooze
the book says psalms what it was was tunes DAVID SANG THE BLUES

David had to cruise he had a lot to lose old king saul feared him most of all chased everywhere but loose
I tell you friend up until the end DAVID SANG THE BLUES

DAVID SANG THE BLUES played on his lute he was a music man was a one man band he was sad down to his shoes
He was hiding too passing thru DAVID SANG THE BLUES

From our point of view his life looks so confused you all know how the story goes tho he became king it's true
His troubles didnt end there was a woman my friend and DAVID SANG THE BLUES

Dont his life read like the news like a soap opera on the tube there's a lesson here I think it's pretty clear sin aint nothing new
well he hit his knees and he prayed it thru DAVID SANG THE BLUES

OH DAVID SANG THE BLUES what else could he choose there was no dove award or grammy that year no charts in the singing news
the book says psalms but what it was was tunes DAVID SANG THE BLUES

DAVID SANG THE BLUES he had paid his dues no matter if your black no matter if your white no matter if your king of the jews
sing to God and he'll see you thru and DAVID SANG THE BLUES
