Black Cotton Blues

Martin Strathausen

[Verse 1]
(Hey)

Woke up this morning
2 o'clock in the afternoon
Couldn't find no sleep last night
But I'm trying to feel alright
My brain is ringin' with any ole chords
I sing Hallelujah and I praise the Lords

[Bridge]
It keeps on burnin'
It keeps on burnin'
It keeps on burnin' my brain

[Chorus]
Red is the color of my dancing shoes
Black cotton and I feel the blues
White is my shirt, but it's no use, I wear
Black cotton when I sing the blues

[Verse 2]
Went to bed that evening
4 o'clock in the morning light
Tossin' and turnin' deep in my dreams
Was haunted by spirits till I gave up the fight

[Bridge]
They keep on burnin' (burnin')
They keep on burnin' (burnin')
They keep on burnin' my skin
It's a sin

[Chorus]
Red is the color of my dancing shoes
Black cotton and I feel the blues
White is my shirt, but it's no use, I wear
Black cotton when I sing the blues
Oooh, black cotton
When I sing the blues

(Hey)

[Verse 3]
I was riding a horse with no name (ho-ho-ho)
Played the wrong chips in the wrong game
Only looking for some peace of mind
I keep on searching cause it's so hard to find

[Chorus]
Red is the color of my dancing shoes
Black cotton and I feel the blues
White is my shirt, but it's no use, I wear
Black cotton when I sing the blues

Ooh, black cotton (ooh)
Ooh, black cotton when I sang the blues

[Chorus]
Red (red red red) is the color of my dancing shoes
Black cotton and I feel, feel, feel, feel, feel, feel
But it's no use, I wear
Black cotton when I sing the blues
