THE RESURRECTION BLUES (2012)
--J. Wrabek
1.
C
Woke up this mornin’, with holes in my wrists,
C7
Can’t get into Heaven when you’re lookin’ like this—
F C
Easter mornin’, I be comin’ back to you;
G F C
I spent the weekend in the graveyard and I got the resurrected blues.
2.
Got no fuzzy bunnies, no funn-colored eggs,
I be walkin’ outa here on resurrected legs—
Easter mornin’, I be comin’ back to you;
I spent the weekend in the graveyard and I got the resurrected blues.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK (IF ANYONE CAN PLAY LEAD)
3.
My daddy’s up in heaven, my momma’s here below,
And me I’m resurrected and I got no place to go—
Easter mornin’, I be comin’ back to you;
I spent the weekend in the graveyard and I got the resurrected blues.
4.
No presents made of choc’late, no marshmallow peeps,
Nobody left me sandals for my resurrected feet—
Easter mornin’, I be comin’ back to you;
I spent the weekend in the graveyard and I got the resurrected blues.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK (IF ANYONE CAN PLAY LEAD)
5.
No pretty-lookin’ bonnet for my resurrected head,
Just a bunch of people won’drin’ how come he isn’t dead—
Easter mornin’, I be comin’ back to you;
I spent the weekend in the graveyard and I got the resurrected blues.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK (IF ANYONE CAN PLAY LEAD)
6.
Not good enough for heaven? I tell you what to do:
Just hang with me and maybe you’ll get resurrected too—
Easter mornin’, I be comin’ back to you;
I spent the weekend in the graveyard and I got the resurrected blues.
