lyrics

WHITE CROSS

I saw her on St. James street
She looked the other way
Now all the uptown hustlers
Say the deal has been delayed

Good friend, if you're a gambler
Don't bet on me too long
Cause the angels say they love me
But they know I took their song

  Now I do another white cross
  That's the country blues
  It's the only thing
  I ever learned to do

Well the good times didn't suit me
I had to taste the pain
In the Oyster Palace back room
Where the night was always day

And I played a little guitar
And I dealt a lot of stud
With the spirits round my ankles
Like Mississippi mud

Now I do another white cross
  That's the country blues
  It's the only thing
  I ever learned to do

SOLO

Well the first one goes down bitter
Then you kind of like the taste
And someone had to lose
Payback happens every day

If you play the devil's music
You know he likes to come along
I know the angels love me
Even if I did them wrong

  On the hill I see a white cross
  Sing the country blues
  It's the only thing
  I'll never ever lose

Whoo Whoo Whoooo
Whoo Whoo Whoooo
